That indeed did work, thanks for that.

@uckelman this is now (mostly) complete. You may remove it from your problems list.

Del, might want to remove DDD Games Design as an owner. Particularly since he’s definitely no longer active with any of his games.

Done. I wasn’t aware that I was allowed to do that but apparently owners can remove other owners.

Can you please make Mitchell Land (Toadkillerdog; designer) and I (developer) owners of the following projects:

Next War: Korea

Next War: Taiwan

Next War: Vietnam

Next War: India-Pakistan

Next War: Poland

While you are at it, can you add me as the owner of the Men of Iron, Volume I: The Rebirth of Infantry project.

Thanks!

Have you contacted any of the existing owners to do that?

No, I did not. I was hoping an admin could just add Mitch and I rather than have to contact a patchwork of people, some of whom, like zhodani, may no longer be making vassal modules.

Consider the friction that could cause if we added new owners to projects without consulting the existing owners.

You can avoid that by asking the existing owners. If anyone responds and is agreeable, they can add you. If they say no, you can start a new project. If no one responds after a reasonable time and you’re planning to continue the series of modules which is already there, let me know and I will add you.

A bit more explanation for the change from the old module library:

The old module library had one page per game, which meant that where there were competing modules for a game, the file lists and text for each such module were intermingled on the same page. This was confusing for users and module maintainers. Users were often uncertain about which files they wanted and which descriptions described which modules. Maintainers had to jockey for page space and our moderator had to sort out conflicts.

The new module library has one page per project. Now everything on one page is relevant to the series of modules on that page and isn’t editable by uninvolved third parties. If someone provides a link to a page in the module library, that uniquely picks out one project, so there can’t be any confusion about which module the link is intended to refer to. Module maintainers no longer need to contend with the maintainers of completely different modules, because they now have their own project pages.
