Display DJMax as a disallowed source instead of a disallowed artist on Rules/Content_usage_permissions

[hburn7]

DJMax is displayed as a disallowed artist on the content usage permissions rules page. DJMax is a video game series and should instead be labeled as a disallowed source. If Neowiz is an artist or source, this needs to be clarified too.

i guess if you're not too familiar with the rhythm game scene you wouldn't know that djmax is a rhythm game series and neowiz is its developer/publisher (you can also use google)

in any case, how exactly should this distinction be made (footnote?) and what issue would it solve?

[hburn7]

I think under the Disallowed header we could have a Source | Status table? Personally I had never heard of DJMax. I assumed Neowiz was an alias for the 'artist' DJMax based on this table layout and I'm sure I'm not the first one to think this.

I don't quite see the point of this. Did something bring this up as a concern?

In my opinion, it is incorrect to label DJMax as a disallowed artist when DJMax is a video game series (source). I maintain a tool used by the tournament mappooling community and Tournament Committee which validates beatmaps for compliance with the content usage permissions list. I had programmed the tool to recognize DJMax as an artist because I was unaware that DJMax is actually a source, not an artist, so the wiki kind of misled me here. I am proposing this edit to increase clarity and to help others avoid misinterpreting this entry.

there may be other weird edge cases what with aliases, music labels (as opposed to artists), spelling/capitalisation (including unicode versions) or specific disallows (i.e. touhou). if you're reading from this article programmatically, you'll likely need to account for these edge cases anyway. i think a footnote should be enough to clarify the situation for people who are unaware

you also shouldn't expect updates to never break the tool you're using to read the article. idk if machine-readability is something we want to commit to for this article atm, to keep things simple

Thanks, I think a footnote is fine. I'm not reading the article programmatically, I'm manually labeling disallowed artists/sources.

Closing for now, but I'm fine with a footnote being added if it's helpful.
