Rechecked this, and with the icons anyway it's very obvious what the different sections are, so there doesn't seem to be a need to rename anything.

Yes, I think it being split came after this (with MBS-4151 linked in the comments above). Additionally, it now also has the entity type icons by the entities, as well, which kinda makes it more clear whether something is a work, a release or a recording.

I wouldn't be against renaming the publishing rels if need be, but that's not so much a case where it is confusing because of our UI, but a case where it is confusing because the industry calls different things the same way :/

although this appears to be split out (maybe it wasn't in 2013, I don't know wasn't using the site back then!) on the relationships page a bit better now it still isn't overly clear which "published" is which.

Good example would be Warner/Chappell's page

Oh, you but mean update the link phrases. In that case it should go via the style list anyway.

Personally I'd rather we just fixed the interface (which I suppose comes under MBS-4151) rather than adding entity types to the link phrases to compensate for a bad interface.

This isn't anything to do with the server code, so I've moved this to style.

I've been told previously that we're not allowed to rename relationships though, so it's possible that this is a won't fix.
