Hi! We used to have this a long time ago, but we removed it because it didn’t seem useful. I guess you could browse a search of all edits adding artists if you don’t mind the sort being by new/old rather than alphabetical?

I’m not sure if I understand your request correctly, but one way could be to download a local mirror copy of all the MB data

and browse the database for artists (and other entities) locally with SQL commands.
