Edit Conditions

This page shows the available edit types and what the requirements are for getting an edit applied to the database. Each edit type is listed three times below; one for each of the quality levels: low, default and high.

When changing the quality of an artist or release, the following edit values apply:

For each edit type and each quality level the table below shows the voting period that an edit will remain open for, the number of unanimous votes required to shortcut the edit period, what happens if the edit expires, but has not votes, and whether or not an edit is considered an auto-edit for an auto-editor.
