Hi, could you split off NT Series onto a new page from the Index Series. thanks --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]]) 18:30, 2 May 2014 (CDT)

<span style="color:red">'''[Embarrassing Response]'''</span><br>Err....no? I can think of 5 reasons as to why that's not a good idea. This sort of request is better brought up on the Index Project Talk page or Baka-Tsuki forums for '''''discussion'''''. Random one sentence requests like this will be ignored due to lack of context, argument and support for the request.

This decision in particular is one that will be made with consultation with the Baka-Tsuki Staff and Administrators.

If the page is too long for comfort, I have already made edits to help navigate through the page much easier than 6 months ago.

KuroiHikari is a BT Administrator.  The final decision among the BT administrators and supervisors was that NT would be split off on to its own page, and then the original page and first series novels would be placed in 'abandoned'. One of the reasons KH may have asked you to do it rather than do it himself is that the page is more complicated with your template code, and you understand that better. --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 08:31, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

Well I'll be. Seems like I will swallow my own words this time. Hmmm. '''If that was the decision then I will comply.'''
<br>However, I feel that this should be delayed until after js06 has translated NT Volume 10.
<br><br>'''Could someone possibly direct me to where this was discussed''' as now I have to figure how to organise Old Testament, New Testament and the Side Stories and Parodies? How will I get this to work...? Is there any rush to do this? I predict that NT Volume 11 will be out in September or October. Also Volume 1 will be erased in September. '''Perhaps the change could be made during June-July before things start getting removed.''' Then we will have about a month for people to get used to the new format. '''It'll also give me time to plan things out.''' It's too messy to do right now.
<br><br>Also, my apologies for initially brushing you off KuroiHikari. I gave myself a facepalm for that embarrassing moment. Thanks for updating me Cthaeh!--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S#top|talk]]) 09:01, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

Well, Ping (in his role as a BT admin) posted that policy regarding Index in the admin forum, after some discussions there and I think in fb chat about BT's policies in general. So I can't give you a link that you will be able to follow. I don't know about what the admins want in terms of timeframe. --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 09:24, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

Hmmm... I might ask Teh Ping tomorrow morning then. Regardless, this is something that '''''needs''''' to be planned before put into action. I have no qualms about splitting the series if that is what the top brass have decided. I just want the transition to be smooth for all of the readers and js06. I also have some personal plans for the Abandoned page in terms of how it will look and some of the template code will need to be reworked. But I will see what Teh Ping says...tomorrow... I'm so tired right now.--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S#top|talk]]) 09:39, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

Perhaps this write-up will help explain some things: '''[[Baka-Tsuki:Project_Abandonment_Policy|Project Abandonment Policy]]'''. I believe that Teh Ping and the custodial staff plan to lock project pages once the project is abandoned (as they have been in the past). Thus, in order to let Js06 translate undisturbed, they've asked Index NT to be moved to a separate page along with active side-stories (which will remain unlocked). --[[User:Cloudii|Cloudii]] ([[User talk:Cloudii|talk]]) 11:10, 3 May 2014 (CDT)

After contacting Teh Ping, I now know the specifics of what is happening; also it seems like he will be the one taking care of everything and doing all the work. Changes will be delayed until after NT Volume 10 is translated. The removal schedule will be much faster compared to what was initially proposed. All of OT will be gone 2 months before Official Release Date of English Volume 01 at the latest. Some of my plans are ruined, but that's life.--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S#top|talk]]) 01:38, 4 May 2014 (CDT)

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I didn't noticed you replied. I was asking you to split the series since you're the project manager and that splitting this series was something that was decided on. In any case, you could start working on the NT page without touching the Index page first and work on the transition when the time comes.--[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]] | ) 06:37, 4 May 2014 (CDT)

Like I said in the previous paragraph, it seems Teh Ping will go ahead and do it himself.<br>Also, despite my name being in the Project Manager entry, its hardly official. I haven't officially been approved by the Admins and other Supervisors. Its just that after Teh Ping, I was the one really taking care of the page the most, so I put my name there as a safeguard.--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S#top|talk]]) 07:18, 4 May 2014 (CDT)

Just to re-clarify is Teh Ping separating the project page himself? Cuz, I figured you would be more familiar with this and thus the better person for this task. The fact you're concerned over the page as well as the project is good enough for me. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]] | ) 05:39, 29 June 2014 (CDT)

That's what Teh Ping told me in our last conversation. The split will probably be sometime in September as the Abandon date is September 18th from memory. I have already made a few changes to the page that should make it easier for Teh Ping to do his thing. If I have any problems with what he's done I can just PM him. It's not a huge problem.--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S#top|talk]]) 20:58, 29 June 2014 (CDT)
