==Project Approval to Official Project (in a sidebar-less system==
 
In the past, all projects went past Oni/DarkoNeko's eyes because they needed to be added to the sidebar. Since the sidebar is going away (and is going to be replaced with categories that have the approved projects/pending project tags), how are we going to dictate how a new project is upgraded to a full project? Can contributors just categorize the project to Full Project Status themselves? Or should they be disallowed from doing that in the rules? How will this work? --[[User:Cloudii|Cloudii]] ([[User talk:Cloudii|talk]]) 23:13, 7 February 2014 (CST)

== New Guidelines Suggestion - A tl;dr of it ==
 
 
Want to start a new novel translation project? Here's brief summary of how to do it!
 
 
# Prepare translations! The first step is to show the readers an excerpt of the novel in question, so you should translate a chapter before creating a page for it.
 
# Look at the project pages in the sidebar, and create one for your novel. Here's a template.
 
# Create a thread [https://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=23 here] to see what others think of your work, in order to get feedback.
 
# If you want to keep working on it to get your project promoted to a main project, complete at least a volume of your seriesǃ When you're done with that volume, add a <nowiki>[[Category:Pending Authorisation]]</nowiki> to your project page and ask [[Help:Administration Contact Page|here]] for someone to approve it.
