What happened in Discogs in August 2018?

Quickly continuing with going through all of the Discogs data (well, not quickly, as it is a lot of data to process): what happened in August 2018? If you haven't already, please read what changed in July 2018 first.

Release statistics

The dump with all the changes from August 1 - August 31 2018 has 10,222,636 releases. The previous dump had 10,116,749 releases, so that means 105,887 releases more. Of those:

• 9,612,780 releases stayed the same
• 501,079 releases were changed
• 108,777 releases were added
• 2,890 releases were removed from the database
• 174 releases had status Draft, Deleted or Rejected
• 11 releases that were not Accepted were in both dumps
• 2 releases were moved from Draft to Accepted

What is noticeable is that there are far fewer 'draft' releases this month. And, once again, the plotted graph of where the changes are made looks very similar to previous months:

Smells

Again ignoring tracklisting errors the amount of new releases with errors is pretty much the same as in July: 2019. Of these 952 are label code errors, 91 depósito legal related, 482 have to do with SID codes, 166 are rights society errors, 163 ISRC errors, 89 SPARS code errors and then there are 76 left over errors.
