Currently, when uploading a new song, it is submit straight out to be approved and if there was a mistake, the page cannot be edited.

I have an idea there could be a preview page (just as it currently shows the page) - but it could be still edited before getting for approval. Additional info, like the links, tags etc, could still be checked they are linked to the correct places. Add tags etc.

There could be some [Finish submit] button to send it right away, and perhaps [Cancel] too, also a message "This is a preview page. You can edit information for 30 minutes, or press Finished button if the page looks correct" or something like that.

Currently the song page info can't be updated after submit, it goes through approval process already.

Just my thoufht this could be a comfy way to make checks more WYSIWYG.

So what do you think?

I guess it's not a big task even to make it "under construction" (preview) mode of the song page.

Just one more "Submit" or "Finish" click away, not necessarily even that required but it takes 30 mins to pass for approval.

This would need to consider "race conditions": suppose the staff is viewing the song, decides it is correct, and approves it, but during that same period, the uploader edits it and makes changes. Then the approved details would not be the ones that the staff was looking at.

Mirrorbird, i mean by the above, there is no race condition, if the staff only grt the Finalized version of the upload page. Also that is where a preview would be for some good use.
