If a story belongs to an anthology, it can be added as such without needing a separate manga page for it.
Recent ruling says that oneshots are allowed to exist separate from their anthologies. This means that there can be over 6+ manga pages created per single anthology, as well as the anthology page itself, creating an unnecessary amount of extra pages. I could go through every single anthology we have on the site, separate, and re-upload them because that's what that kind of precedent would allow. I think that's a little silly.

Example.


Edit: Well, I would've had an example but Ixlone deleted it. We should at least be clear on what the rule is, it's not really enjoyable being told different things by different mods/admins.

The wording's a bit off, considering there are plenty of oneshots that exist entirely on their own, but I get the general sentiment. IMO, I just want some consistent rule for these anthologies.

Unless things have changed, it's my understanding that all oneshots will be collected into anthologies and the orphan entries will be deleted as they're found.

This may change in the future, but for now, I'm marking as Implemented.
