In my experience - at least with the Japanese artists - they tend to set up a redirect from the Latin name to the Japanese/original name of the artist. So there really is only one page to link to in this case. This only works on the fairly well-known artists tho - there are lots of newer or lesser-known artists that don't have this redirect set up. Or ones which share a name with some other artist, of course... -- Calvin Walton <calvin.wal...@kepstin.ca> _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
