Revision as of 15:52, 2 February 2014
These Project Startup Guidelines apply to all new Baka-Tsuki projects, including alternative language projects and alternative media projects.
All Translation Projects
Project Proposal and Petitioning
- All new requests must have a discussion thread opened in the Future Project Suggestions forum, with the name of the novel (series) in the title.
- In the request thread, you must have a poll open, asking the public:
"Do you wish to see this Novel (series) Translated?"
Give the public these options:
- "I might try translating this"
- "Yes"
- "Not Really (Please give a reason)"
- "No (Please give a reason)"
- The Novel (Series) must be unlicensed for any official English publisher. You must clearly show that this is true, failure to do so could mean that a lot of effort would be put into it only for it to be pulled away. A very sad and unfortunate situation, that we really don't want to happen. So please please please check.
- If possible have a Baka-Tsuki Staff Member verify it.
Creation of Project
- The discussion thread for the project must already exist in the Future Project Suggestions forum
- You must have the raw and also state the language it is in, so you are able to pass it on to a translator. You are required to find that translator yourself.
- Perform the following actions:
- A new Project Page should be created. Refer to Project Page Format Guidelines.
- Add the Template, Warning ATP to the top of the Project Page.
- After you have fulfilled the above points, you must contact a Wiki Supervisor by Email and P.M (optional) with a link to the Forum post of the requested Series.
- When you do receive confirmation, you must POST the name of the Supervisor who approved you, to ensure all Baka-Tsuki Staff Members are aware of it. Supervisors should:
- Send a copy of your Email approval with the original request to the Big Boss (thelastguardian) to inform him of the new project.
Approval to Full Project
Requirements
- At least one or more chapters of a volume must be fully translated.(This is something pending to be changed.)
- You MUST have a willing Translator who must register on this forum, and verify in a written post that they will take up the project. That verified Baka-Tsuki translator will only have to post a confirmation that they are willing to take up the series.
- A Project Supervisor must be named. By default, if there is only one Project Translator, he/she is assumed to be the Project Supervisor.
Protocol
- After you have fulfilled the above points, you must contact a Wiki Supervisor by Email and P.M (optional) with a link to the Project Page of the requested Series.

- Contact a member of the Custodial Staff (ie: Onizuka-gto), and have them add the series to the Sidebar.
