I agree that you might as well not standardize abbreviations either. But what does this leave for the guideline? I can't come up with a case where it would still be relevant. I'm sure there are cases, but I would appreciate an example if anyone has one. It seems like only a very specific type of

I've made a few small changes here: removing the classical stuff, making clear that abbreviations of featuring follow the guideline too, and changing that if they fit into 1 sentence because I had to read it too many times to understand it and that's a bad sign:

Yes, it should be removed: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Classical/Release/Title does not mention feat. or featured any more. Let's just remove that bullet point then. Why? This is the first clear definition of featured I ever found :-) I think that definition seems to include cases

Hello, It’s good to say *don’t change* stuff that differs from featuring to feat. as said in this wiki page. *+1* as this proposal is limiting the frequency of this search/replace, but I would go further and drop the rule totally. You could add on the top to apply the usual Japanese release

+1. Standardising those would be meh. Only somewhat related, but the “(feat.)” is used in MusicBrainz as part of the Classical Style Guide to indicate performers, as the composers are stored in the artist field. This is separate from this guideline, don't try to “correct” those! is no longer
