Unmarked featured artist maps #8111

It's been a week and from what I recall, we were asked to wait a week before reporting on unmarked FA maps. So here's a list?

google sheet

This list covers 499 ranked and loved maps of featured artist tracks which are not marked as featured artist on the website. I arbitrarily stopped at 499, this list is not fully comprehensive of all unmarked maps. I estimate over a third of all Featured Artist maps of licensed tracks are unmarked.

For tracks with multiple FAs I list only the first. Not sure how this is handled otherwise.

Common issues:

  • Featured artist listing has a / between aliases. The map states only the alias which the song was released under in its artist field. The map ends up unmarked.
  • There is minor formatting differences.
  • (Cut Ver.) maps are not marked
  • Featured artist collabs with another artist, such as with a feat. or other indicative symbol in the artist field. These maps end up unmarked.
  • Markers for length versions, remixes, etc, are usually in light gray text on the FA listing, but are given as (marker) or similar in the template. Maps of these tracks with (marker) do not get marked.
  • Group FAs such as High Tea, MOtOLOiD, Rising Sun Traxx, Tiny Waves, are completely unmarked due to the actual artists being completely different from the FA name.
  • The FA listing and template had errors which were previously fixed in the template, but not on the listing. Or they were not fixed at all, while the ranked/loved map is correct.
  • The track on the FA listing has its title in Japanese, such as *namirin and Trial & Error. Not sure why this leads to unmarked maps.
  • The ranked/loved map has incorrect metadata (usually maps from before an artist was licensed.)

There is easily another 500 more or more of these, improvement is definitely needed in this area. I'm not sure what needs to be done here as the criteria for maps being marked is not publicized. Even when improvements are made, there needs to be a central location to be able to report unmarked maps so they can be fixed and linked to the Featured Artist listing, as with so many tracks and so many possible tiny variations, it seems impossible to cover every possible case automatically.
