We have made the following additions to the expunge guidelines regarding the issue of compilation galleries:
QUOTE
Priority 1-2 uploaders are allowed to compile multiple story-relevant chapters from different tankoubons, anthologies, and other individual releases into a single compilation gallery.
> The compilation gallery must consist entirely of their own work or translations. It may co-exist with galleries of separate chapters. It should NOT be given the compilation semi-expunging tag.
https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Expunging#Already_UploadedArtists and translators uploading their works are now permitted to create compilation of story-relevant chapters, (recommended) in addition to their galleries of separate chapters. Provided that they are compiling
strictly their own works.
Neither the compilation nor the individual galleries would be considered as "superior quality", and as such should co-exist with each other. Such "valid" compilations should also
NOT be given the
compilation expunge tag, as this tag that is used to highlight the gallery in question is susceptible to expunge.
Please note that this leniency is
ONLY granted to priority 1-2 uploaders. Anyone else is still not permitted to create compilations (with
related chapters from multiple anthologies being the only exception).
This does
NOT invalidate any expunge petition filed before this rule change.
DO NOT file an appeal on any was-valid compilation expunges, as this would induce penalties to those who voted in favor of the petition. The uploaders themselves are, however, allowed to re-upload the now-valid compilation galleries should they so desire.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave them in this thread.
(EDIT: Made some formatting edits on the wiki version, but implication of this new ruling is still unchanged.)
