Crediting a remix album

To start out with, I’d like to add something like the following to a new “Remixes” section under “Special cases” in the Artist Credits page:

A recording that is a remix of another recording should typically be credited to the original recording’s artist, not to the remixer. The artist who remixed the song should be linked via a remixer relationship. The remixed song’s title (including any parenthetical information like the remixer’s name) should be preserved.

I think that this is the way that remixes are already entered, but I found the lack of documentation about remixes (other than the niche OC ReMix page) confusing when I was starting out. Thoughts about this, @reosarevok or anyone else?

(I know that I’m including some guidance about titles on the AC page, but it felt a bit cleaner than splitting it. Also happy to rewrite this to use imperative statements rather than “should be” if that’s preferred; the current docs are a mix of the two styles. :slight_smile: )
