      MusicBrainz only offers the 3 most common vinyl sizes to chose from in the tracklist tab's format dropdown menu: 7", 10" and 12". But there are many other sizes available. I'm not talking about custom, flexi or lathe cuts; I'm talking about mass-produced releases.

      Discogs has nearly 3000 releases on 8" vinyl:
      https://www.discogs.com/search/?format_exact=Vinyl&format_exact=8%22

      1600 on 6" vinyl
      https://www.discogs.com/search/?format_exact=Vinyl&format_exact=6%22

      Nearly a 1000 each for 5" and 16" vinyl:
      https://www.discogs.com/search/?format_exact=Vinyl&format_exact=5%22
      https://www.discogs.com/search/?format_exact=Vinyl&format_exact=16%22

      And hundreds more in other sizes like 3", 4", 9" and 11".

      Here's an article on other odd-sized vinyl that MusicBrainz currently wouldn't be able to document properly:

      Could at least the top 4 mentioned here be added? 8", 6", 5" and 16"?
