Thanks to @chaban for approving my edits! 
On a related note: Is there a tool that helps with mass merging recordings? @jesus2099’s mb. MASS MERGE RECORDINGS is advertised for merging within an RG, but I need to merge from “all over MB” as I’m working with a compilation.
On compilations where it is not trivial to know what version was selected for each song, it is better to think recording by recording, IMO.
On compilations of whole albums, like album A / B / C (anthologies), it’s more easy, you can use the script to show release A inside the anthology and check which recordings might be worth merging or not, same with B and C.
Thanks for your reply, but I realize that I’ve misstated my problem a little bit. “Mass merging” seems to imply something different to what I want to do.
Let’s say, I want to merge some recordings in a release with some other recordings somewhere on MB. I’d have to:
This process has to be repeated for ~50 recordings for the release I’m currently editing. Each iteration requires me to load at least 5 pages. This is pretty tedious when repeated 50 times so I’m wondering if there’s a tool to streamline this? I’m thinking somewhere along the line of how the recordings tab in the release editor works, where I have the list of all the recordings from a release and can lookup similar recordings in a dropdown and select a merge target. At the bottom of the page is a text field to a enter one edit note and a button with which I can submit all recording merges at once in bulk.
Since very many of the tracks on that release share an artist, I would suggest initiating recording merges from that artist’s “recordings” tab as a starting point (you can filter the recording list by title), as this will give you a good overview of the possible merge candidates.
Once those are out of the way the amount of merge work remaining for this compilation will be much smaller.
If you have a source for ISRCs for that specific compilation (not always possible) this can also help as you can batch-add ISRCs and then quickly go from a recording page to all recordings that share its ISRC and initiate merges from there.
Not exactly what I had in mind, but that definitely helped. Thanks for the suggestion!
I’ve submitted all the merges now.
7 posts were split to a new topic: Should the primary type of a release group be chosen based on the concept or the size of the contained release(s)?
Please could I get some eyez on https://musicbrainz.org/edit/73289659 and https://musicbrainz.org/edit/73289658 as they are close to expiry? The question is whether under some circumstances a medium title of “CD n” should be retained, overriding the guideline. Thanks.
Could I get a quick fix here, please: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/73530185
Added based on the info I had, then I found more info.
Could this get cleared so I can add Video attribute and live details? Thanks!
Please vote for a mini-consensus: Should multi-channel description like “(5.1 mix)” be included in track info?

This artist was entered twice with fairly thorough release histories, one from bandcamp and one from discogs, apparently about the same time. I have merged artists, rgs, releases, and recordings (targeting the artist name as shown on bandcamp, which also has a few more releases attached):

The original download had chapter 14 missing.
The author has provided a new zip file containing this chapter.
Let’s disentangle some artists! Versatile Four gets mixed up quite a bit with The Versatile Four.
The releases in these two groups should be merged together. They’re from Blu-ray releases and one group has an extra track for the credits chapter of the video but one does not. The extra track should be added to the one without the credits chapter and then they should be merged.
“Linked Horizon” should be kept as the artist instead of “Revo”. It looks like one was a direct import from VGMdb where performing artists are put in album titles instead of separately.
Hi @Toad_King,
This is a review topic, not a call for edits.
If you have an edit pending that, until it applies, is blocking further edits, you can come here to request for votes and reviews. 
Jonas Brothers recording got linked to the wrong single: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/74200077
@jesus2099 Ah, my mistake. I misunderstood the first post in this thread.
I made two edits for adding the missing tracks that need to be approved before the merging can happen.

Well… 
Maybe you are right.
I need a few votes to separate the German and Spanish Mikels.
