Original medley collabs with all songs tagged rather than medley

#1

These works, which can be found via a search of original_medley_collab songtags:>1, should be tagged with their original medley, rather than all song tags individually. On the tag page for the medley, the respective relations can then be added for it. The rationale for this is two-part: 1) collabs may re-use the medley, which then makes finding works that use that medley discoverable, and 2) it reduces the amount of tagging on future works.

You can see an example of how this should be done here for reference (or simply search original_medley_collab songtags:1): ひとりぼっちの組曲

@__tacoguy @Moltern I believe these works linked here were added by you, so just bringing this to your attention.

Note that currently there isn't a simple way to, say, search for works that use a specific song, but that song is contained within a medley, and thus not tagged directly on the work, but this is a feature that is intended to be added in the near future.

Hi, https://otodb.net/work/9077 is using a medley draft instead of a proper medley, thus was tagged with individual songs. I also tagged some works that use medley, but are either a collab part or a solo entry with only some song(s) used out of the whole medley with a song and a medley/song request tag like so, as FAQ/editing guidelines don't mention how this should be handled and, as you mentioned, there is no way of searching a work that uses a song, which is part of the medley: https://otodb.net/work/14718.

t46.2:

work #9077 should be tagged with some sort of "draft medley" tag in that case.
Tagging works that only use the medley partially with both the medley and the individual song(s) is fine, that's to be expected. This sort of scenario will be more properly documented in the editing guidelines soon.

Sorry about that. I have since fixed YouTube Dream Concert0 & will fix the others when I am able.

Thanks! I've went ahead and added all the song relations for YouTube Dream Concert0 -派手に行こうぜ!パーティタイム!- to be clear that is what I meant by "respective relations can then be added for it" (only a link relation to medley.bepis.io was added at the time).

t46.3:

I've created draft_medley_collab tag, I didn't add any more draft medley collabs myself, but there may be more works added and tagged incorrectly by other people. I'll check my submissions later to see if I tagged any other collabs with individual songs.
