This page displays the entry data and provides some of the website features through user actions.

Available user actions

The artist entry status is shown with an icon on this line.

Follow

Artist entries can be followed to show support and get notified when artists release new songs or albums or participate in events.

There are three artist-specific notification settings:

  • No notifications.
  • Notify me on-site.
  • Notify me both on-site and by email.

Follower lists for artists are not available, but followed artists for users are available at https://vocadb.net/Profile/{username}/artists

Edit

The “Edit” -button opens the edit-page for the artist entry.

View modifications

The “View modifications” -button opens the version history for the artist entry: https://vocadb.net/Artist/Versions/{artist_id}

The version history table uses 5 columns: Version, Created, Author, Changes, Notes.

The specific version can be viewed when clicking one of the version numbers in the Version-column:

https://vocadb.net/Artist/ViewVersion/{version_id}

The version page has two user actions available (four for moderators).

Report an error

Creates an entry report and adds it to the entry report -list that is visible to trusted users+

For artists, four report types are available. The notes -field is required for report types 1 & 4.

1. Invalid or missing information

Used for reporting

  • invalid or incorrect information
    • Always provide reasoning and proofs unless already obvious.
  • missing information
    • A missing alias or a circle for example. If possible, always prefer adding the information yourself instead of leaving a report. Avoid requesting entries (such as missing albums/songs) through entry reports.

2. Duplicate entry

3. Inappropriate content

For artists entries that do not belong to VocaDB.
