Baka-Tsuki Global Rule Changes (April 2014)

The following Baka-Tsuki rules have been officially added:

• Reader Agreement - new rule
• Project Manager Rules - new rule
• New Project Startup Guidelines - modified

Oni's old project startup guidelines are no longer in effect.

Discussion of these rules should be taken to the Baka-Tsuki Forums.

Key Changes Summary:

1). The requirement for full project recognition has been raised to ONE VOLUME.

• By one volume, we mean one whole volume (not scattered chapters that sum to a volume after you add them together)
• Note that some special exceptions exist where a project may be raised to full project status without having a whole volume (ie: One-shots)

2). The ATP tag is no longer in use. All newly created projects should be tagged with {{teaser|English}}

• This tag should not be removed until a Supervisor approves the project to full-project status.
• The [[Category:Pending Authorisation]] should be added to a project that has fulfilled minimum requirements and is pending approval to full project status.

3). Several things have been renamed:

• "Project Supervisor" has been renamed to "Project Manager" -- Can be any member of a translation project, and has the privileges to control Project-Specific Guidelines
• "Project Administrator" has been renamed to "Supervisor" -- Can only be occupied by a Wiki Supervisor (or above). Has privileges to deliver punitive action.

4). Rule Clarification: Project Managers have the authority to change Project-Specific Guidelines and have the final word in all disputes related to translation.

• Basically, Project Managers have the power to run their projects however they want (should they desire). However, they should stay reasonable. Wiki Supervisors hold authority over Project Managers.

5). Notify Baka-Tsuki Supervisors at the Administration Contact Page for all important events, including:

• When a project overview page is newly created on the Wiki
• When a project has reached full project approval requirements
• When you are assuming Project Manager responsibilities for a project
