Final Fantasy II 'Dungeon (Unused)'

Final Fantasy II 'Dungeon (Unused)' seems to be conflated in the database with Final Fantasy VI 'The Magic House'.

[Liontamer]

No, that's right. We have parent-child relationships in the database for some songs. That unused FF2 song was later re-purposed in FF6 as "The Magic House", so ReMixes of "The Magic House" will also appear in that FF2 song entry. We currently don't display any information to that fact, but it's another thing (very far down) the to-do list.

I see. I would recommend disabling the display of such relationships to the public until the proper annotated display can be implemented.

[Liontamer]

I don't think we need to disable those relationships. At some point, djp can add a sentence to all Song pages with something to the effect of...

 

Note: This list also includes ReMixes assigned to other songs which derive from this song.

 

...and that basically covers it.

I don't mean disable the relationships, but rather hide partial or incomplete displays of relationships from general users.

[Liontamer]

In effect, you're saying disable it all, because you're saying that it's currently handled in an incomplete way. All of the parent-child song relationships in the DB cause the same thing to happen, e.g. http://ocremix.org/song/660 where usages of LoZ:OoT's "Zelda's Theme" also appear on the Zelda 3 song "Princess Zelda's Rescue".

djp will have to add some lines in the song information to display the name of the parent or child songs as well. That said, I'm OK with it as is, not because I want the connection to be unclear, but because it errs on the side of displaying more music. Everything will get there eventually, as far as what's displayed.

[CyberSkull]

I agree with you on erring to display more data.

 

I meant that certain features should be implemented on a development server or for admin use only till they hit a threshold of usability and then made available to all.
