This issue is related to:

~~STYLE-124~~ A medley recording has not attributes (live, cover, etc.) in AR "Recording-Work"

Description

« Hide

"medley" should be an attribute of the "performance of" relationship instead of its own relationship. There is no way currently to relate a "live medley" performance, other than creating two separate ARs.

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Hawke/Proposal/Performance-medley

Once this attribute is created, all "medley of" relationships should be migrated to the new attribute. The wording should remain "medley of", "live medley of", etc. instead of "medley performance of", if possible.

I agree. In fact I was thinking about suggesting this myself.

<off-topic>Are we finally moving the style proposals to jira instead of the mailing list?</off-topic>

[OT] No, but we're going to use it to track them. See http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Proposals

Nicolás+OT+nikki+Héctor: It would be so much more efficient to have it all here as a whole, rather than needlessly splitting discussions, source of noise, mistakes and time lost.
ML could be used at the maximum, only to warn some people on new tickets for the ones who would feel doing so.

RFC v2 at http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-style/2012-July/016281.html

If that passes, http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Medley_Relationship_Type should be deprecated so that no new such relationships can be added.

Are there plans to implement this proposal? Deprecating the medley AR and convert the existing instances to an attribute of the performance AR with a bot at a later time sounds good to me

Could we send a RFV for this now, so we can prevent new "medley AR" from being created and the new attribute added?

It looks like there are only 65 "medley of" recording<->work ARs (!!), so manually fixing them doesn't seem like a big deal:

SELECT * FROM `link`WHERE link_type=244;
/* 0 rows affected, 65 rows found. Duration for 1 query: 0,078 sec. */
