      I don't remember ever find any lyrics for my songs, in there.
      So I wanted to remove it from my scripts.

      Looking into it, I realised that DirectLyrics is no longer a lyrics website.
      I guess it used to be one, but now I only can see some news about artists.

      I found only 3 lyrics pages linked but those contain no lyrics (anymore?).

      Could we remove this site from the lyrics whitelist?

      I removed the 3 no-lyrics page, already:

      https://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?auto_edit_filter=&order=desc&negation=0&combinator=and&conditions.0.field=editor&conditions.0.operator=%3D&conditions.0.name=jesus2099&conditions.0.args.0=285909&conditions.1.field=id&conditions.1.operator=BETWEEN&conditions.1.args.0=111351067&conditions.1.args.1=111351077

      Then there were many artists linked to directlyrics pages, but as they only contain news and not lyrics, I have queued removals, as well:

      https://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?auto_edit_filter=&order=desc&negation=0&combinator=and&conditions.0.field=editor&conditions.0.operator=%3D&conditions.0.name=jesus2099&conditions.0.args.0=285909&conditions.1.field=id&conditions.1.operator=BETWEEN&conditions.1.args.0=111351164&conditions.1.args.1=111353051

      Unfortunately I made 3 autoedits by mistake:

      https://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?auto_edit_filter=1&order=desc&negation=0&combinator=and&conditions.0.field=editor&conditions.0.operator=%3D&conditions.0.name=jesus2099&conditions.0.args.0=285909&conditions.1.field=id&conditions.1.operator=BETWEEN&conditions.1.args.0=111351164&conditions.1.args.1=111353051&field=Please+choose+a+condition


      I removed directlyrics from my script
