Full Text Previews For Volumes

Post by Wolfpup »

I have up some full text sections set up already in the proper format for some of the volumes and i was wondering if it might be acceptable to link to them as a Preview for the full text so that Translators would have a more accurate chapter link when starting a new chapter. These could be linked as Volume Preview next to the Volume name similar how it is for the Full Text links and then when the Volume is completed changed to Full Text.

I'm not sure of understanding... you have summaries of chapters 13 to 20 in english? And you would like to put them as preview to keep people waiting... If this is true..... THEN ABSOLUTLY!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I will enjoy reading them ^^

Unfortunately you did misunderstand and I'm sorry if I caused you some confusion what I have already set up but kind of hidden are the 'templates' for most of the remaining Volumes to be translated. These are the same as the ones for the already completed Volumes but with adjustments for each given Volume.

Voted no since it would be confusing and also create too many redlinks...
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

These would have Preview as part of the link on the main page ti indicate that they are incomplete. and also the preview template could be added to the actual page indicating that this is incomplete until it is fully translated. Also the 'red links' would give the translators that start the missing chapter the proper link for the page. The Full Text Previews would not actually go up even though some of them have been already set up till at least 2 chapters had been done for the volume.
