Currently you can add a release with no tracklist. However, this is done by removing all the mediums from the release.
This means you can't specify if you know that it's a cassette/CD/etc. but don't know the tracklist on each medium.
So it would be better if "unknown tracklist" were an attribute of the medium rather than the release.

[MBS-8725] Allow mediums to have an unknown tracklist
If someone adds a track listing so a medium which previously was marked "unknown" can it go through automatically?
Currently it's put through 7 day voting process.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce this: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/74709728 but it's possible other users were plagued by it too as I've seen some editors adding new mediums instead of editing the existing unknown one.
Another user reports that a new medium was added instead: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/74807840
Hmm! I wasn't expecting that to be honest, but actually I'd consider it an improvement over them just giving up and not adding the release at all 
I guess I should write (and start following) a report about empty mediums.
It looks like beginners resort to this feature if they can't figure out how to use the tracklist editor.
An example: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/74709728

draconx: This is MBS-11066 which also occurred on beta before the last PR but was now fixed there, so this problem should go away on the production server as well after the next release.
These edits created on the beta site appear to be breaking the main site. Seems to give an internal server error if an edit search happens to pulls up such an edit.
For example: https://musicbrainz.org/release/369a717a-38f7-406f-b830-57929e168792/edits

Of course, I've found that track list since then. But here's another: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/369a717a-38f7-406f-b830-57929e168792
eloise_freya: could you add a new ticket for that? It sounds possibly reasonable to me, as long as the medium isn't otherwise changed (name, format).
