A few months ago I made [this (votable) edit](https://musicbrainz.org/edit/111656165). It is a compilation of Greek Disney songs and naturally the secondary type is _compilation_ but I’ve also added the _soundtrack_ type. I did this because it’s an official CD release and it made sense to me at the time to add the _soundtrack_ type. However, I did get a lot of abstain votes (all of them to be exact) and also people on the Discord server told me they would use that type on releases that only feature a single film’s music. So, I thought that if I don’t get any yes votes before the edit closes, I would cancel it. This exactly happened but I forgot to do so. So, I’m asking here, months later, do you think it was wrong of me to add the _soundtrack_ type or should I leave it be?

I would have voted no there as that is a compilation of songs from different soundtracks, but the album itself is not a soundtrack of any movie.

Thanks for the feedback. I suppose I should remove the _soundtrack_ type?
