@SerialNo30000324: The problem here is that, almost no one was online to discuss anything with anyone (no one even once checked or replied to the Forum Post i made, for the adoption for nearly a week). The only long term member who is still currently active is "LeXuS008". And you can't really say its a community, when the most number of people who had been active are around 2-3 people per month. So, i didn't know who to communicate with. As for pushing away editors, the only one yet who had a problem with my managing is "NejiHyuga2" (who has been active in this Wikia from Jan 2019).

Also, even when i didn't take charge of this Wikia (i have been doing minor contribution since 2018 here), the people who were making edits at irregular intervals, did so as they felt like, without discussing with anyone (just because the renaming function was allowed to all members). Even the Upload of images have been done in a haphazard manner with no proper naming format for majority of them (if someone is a regular member at working in a Wikia, they should know how proper naming is important for management). Also, i don't remember NejiHyuga2 asking for anyone's permission when he renamed the articles as he/she saw fit (he/she isn't the Staff of this wikia, so he should have atleast discussed with other still active members before he did so, since the pages he/she renamed were originally created by the older Staff of this Wikia).

I know, my policies have been drastic. But i am doing so because we don't have much time left before the Anime adaptation starts in July (and its not like i can work 24/7 here, have stuff to do on other Wikia's as well).

Another thing (i might be wrong with this), as far as i know, when a Search is done, the article isn't searched based on the link address, but rather the "article heading" or the content in it. So, shortening the links shouldn't create a problem, as long as the article itself contains the appropriate content. Also, like i said, i had taken the idea of short naming (not the full one), based on some other Wikia's who follow the same system.

As for asking for help with editing. I plan to do that, once i fix up the structure of this Wikia, like changing templates (the character infobox template have many things which are inconsistent with many characters) and renaming existing ".png" images and clearing out older ".jpg" image and replacing them with new ".png" one. After i have fixed up those, i would be asking around for help to fill in for content (mainly on "AnimeSuki" forums, or the site of the current WN translator, where many visit and comment). The reason i plan to do it later, is because i don't want there to be any issue with what people are try to add in, when i am changing around stuffs.

Note: I would be restoring the older LN Volume links as a redirect (so that search issue isn't there), but i won't be restoring any which has wrong naming.
