      When viewing a release on Musicbrainz, most of the listed properties which have MBIDs also show their associated disambiguation comments in grey text in brackets. However, this does not appear to happen with Works.  See for example https://musicbrainz.org/release/004893f7-4a08-4fa9-a5d9-623eeb247ae4 where the disambiguation text appears for "recorded at" but not for "recording of".

      I think it would make for an improved UI if you could fix this. At the moment the workaround to see the disambiguation text for Works is to go into the Edit Relationships view, which is far from ideal.

      This is probably the case in other views as well, but I happened to notice it most, and fall foul of it most often, in the release view. We chatted this through on IRC and the consensus seems to be in favour.

      Maybe this is a bug, rather than an improvement? ....

          [MBS-9267] Release page should display disambiguation comments for Works

          I looked into code history and other tickets, and I found no evidence that disambiguation comments have been hidden at purpose in this case. On the contrary, comments to MBS-1090 suggest that it is an unintended behaviour. (Ticket updated accordingly.)
