Why can't I edit song facts?

For some reason, a page that (if I recall correctly) I started, transcribed most of the lyrics to (by ear, from faint recordings), is now not allowing me to make edits?

The song hasn’t come out, but people are already adding in YouTube links to it as if it’s a released song.

hi! anti-spam measure. you’re in the clear now! it’s alright to add a YouTube link if available but that’ll later be updated to the official link once released.

Hey, I still can’t edit? As for the link itself, it’s speculation for how the song sounds.. I don’t think it’s very professional.

hi! just noticed there’s one more parameter for this song, it’s over 5,000 views – you’ll need 3,000 IQ (if I recall correctly) to edit its song facts. I’ll check the link and remove it if need be. thank you!

@nightpool @streetlights could you confirm IQ requirement? thank you!

Oh cool I didn’t know this happens over a certain view count. Thanks for clearing up the confusion!

I am getting the message “sorry you’re not able to do that” when I go to edit song facts. I’m the mixing & mastering engineer on multiple songs of one artist and someone gave the wrong person credit. my tag is even on the songs. what can I do about this?

@OzTheGod It looks like you had under 300 IQ when you posted, so you should be able to do that for songs under the 5,000 views now as noted above. If you come across a song with too many view or that is locked, feel free to message me or another editor and we’ll make the fix.
