Hello! I was reviewing the upload guidelines and had a question about a particular rule
Do not add, edit, change the order of, or remove any pages unless you are part of the original scanlator group
Does this mean I cannot fix a mistake that the group made if I'm not part of the group?
For context, the group is long dead, and I was considering picking up one of their dead projects, however after reviewing their released chapters, one of the pages had a missing bubble. Their releases aren't on MangaDex so I was going to download it off another site, fix the missing bubble, and reupload to here. Would this violate the rule? I'd rather not have to re-do an entire chapter as my own group just for one bubble.

Im sure for dead groups that arent locked filling in a missing bubble would be acceptable. The rule is basically so people dont download say, LHTranslations release, and then add a couple spam credit pages and try to leech off their work.

IMO acceptable "fix" includes things like (Original Group) releases a chapter. But the zip file from their site has pages 5 and 7 switched. OG too lazy to release correct zip.

But its the mods who have final say on things like that so @lymus

Common sense applies, and in your example, provided the group is long dead, there won't be any problems. It's not like you're claiming credit for yourself - you intend to credit the group.
