Baka-Tsuki talk:New Project Startup Guidelines

Things needing verification:

• Whether Wiki Supervisors need to be contacted for Teaser Projects AND/OR if they need to send an email to TLG. The original forum post was unclear about this, because Teaser Projects weren't accounted for in that structure.
• There's a bunch of changes coming, since the sidebar is going to go poof. Hence, we need this to be updated to whatever our new policy is.

I don't recall any ground rules laid down for teasers. Teasers allow people to post part of any part of the novel and being a teaser, no one expects them to get completed either.

• And adding on, I'm pretty sure no one contacts Wiki Supervisors nor email TLG for most of our current running projects.

• KuroiHikari, what do you think about zzhk's opinion about Teaser/Pending? I think I like his idea. Basically, any project that is not a Full Project is a Teaser Project. Once a Teaser reaches the requirements to become a Full Project, it gets added to the Pending category (so Oni can review), and if it gets approved, it becomes a full project?

• I don't really want the term Teaser to mark the start of a project. One is aimed at zero commitment and the other requires a lot. The issue can be simplified by requiring content to be uploaded on the wiki at the same time a project page is created (ATP's time limit would then be pointless), because I don't see much merit in having a project page without any content. --KuroiHikari (Talk | ) 06:54, 7 February 2014 (CST)
• Well of course. Why would we want an empty project page? I actually thought most people uploaded their teaser nearly at the same time as when they made the project page. Cloudii (talk) 08:34, 7 February 2014 (CST)
• I just wanted to get your opinion on what's the difference between a "Teaser" and a "Pending" Project. Don't these groups kind of overlap? All Teasers are kind of "Pending Projects", right, simply because they're not full projects. I don't think there's anything in the term "Pending Project" that implies a lot of commitment. Pending just means it's not a Full Project yet. Cloudii (talk) 08:34, 7 February 2014 (CST)
• I've argued with someone about Log Horizon's project page before.
• Teasers allow stuff such as a translated page(maybe more than a page) in the middle of a chapter. One can assume that nothing of a teaser will ever be completed. In that sense, teasers are not expected to be full projects. For that reason, I do not want Teaser to be Step 1 of starting a full project. It's meant to be a parallel process.--KuroiHikari (Talk | ) 09:35, 7 February 2014 (CST)
