Milisia:
China officially can't have shows registered to have more than 40 episodes. Streaming sites sites can go around that "law", as they combine seasons and add them all on one page so it's easier for viewers to find them and to generate more traffic.
So to put it simple, title indeed have 2 parts, just streaming sites, add it as one. And it will be not changed, and nothing will be removed, because it's added correctly.
The same issue will be with Samsara, and the same deal was with Blue Whisper. Blue Whisper also aired one after another, and if i remember correctly, number of episodes, also were counting, not started from 1
Douban and Tencent show this drama as 1 with 56 episodes, there no point have 2 pages for it.
It official schedule from Tencent , there 56 episodes:

oh dear, I get where you all become confused.
Just because they released a combined schedule that doesn't mean they combined it,
Even Blue Whisper had combined calendar but it doesn't mean they combined two parts, it's still spilted in to 2 parts
here is the calendar of TBW - https://mydramalist.com/photos/BAZdq_3

Douban and other web combined 2 part so I really don't get why it should be 2 on MDL.. I mean there no trailer or even poster for part 2, there no even pause between 2 "part", only because some Chinese law which hasnt nothing to do with that web. But of course it's up to you, because even airing schedule for part 1 on MDL page wasn't fixed for whole month till now

Part 2 isn't like season 2 😅 so why there will be a new trailer for it?
You all are just confused between part 2 and season 2. Both are two different things.
And it has nothing to do with douban. Douban will have only one page for all the drama which has part 1 and part 2.
https://movie.douban.com/subject/35235410/ >> Blue Whisper also had only one page. Don't bother by BW, i'm mentioning it again and again because it's the 1st historical drama which got splitted like that

Ok, I got it. Still don't understand what they point for MDL put it that way, and how much easier it will be for viewers here watch all on same page. If streaming platform, rating put it all together. Can at least Episodes guide in Part 2 started from episode 28?

Apparently No.
Tho all the people need to get use to with this part 1 , part 2 thing (P. S. They are not like season 1 , season 2 , so please don't be confused ><) as this will be like this with all the upcoming historical dramas (ancient time mostly) with 40+ episodes.
Emmaline Zhang:
We should combine part 1 and part 2 pages.. there’s no part 2 anymore. Tencent/we tv has officially combined and continued all the episodes as one. This is ridiculous if we are still separating the part 1 and 2, new audiences will get really confused about this and thinking there must be a season 2 which they don’t have.
Two staff already have explained it above, it will be helpful for them if you atleast read those previous convo. and consider it :)
isn't major advantage of MDL is fan activity?
Many people appreciate accurate data. This is a bit like a wikipedia with social engagement-the pages need to give accurate information for this to be treated with some basic respect beyond just fans (since plenty of other sites come here to get info then go down various rabbit holes of info)... Granted, some of the articles here are a bit overly biased/not appropriately translating the tone of the news the info's gained from, but most try to stay accurate. For a while Kdramas (bc of a Chinese boycott of Korean everything) on the 3 public networks had to split their dramas into twice as many episodes in order to show TV commercials which SK doesn't allow during the episode air time... It was a loophole, sure, but we show those programs as having 32 half hour eps vs 16 hour long ones, for instance. Sure, fans writing in English far from SK don't get impacted by it (same goes for little webseries that get combined into 1 file as a "movie" even though the content is the same-they get 2 versions because that's how they're rolled out, as separate titles). We don't make the rules for each nation. We simply reflect them in what we list shows as here (in this case it was an unusual 27+29 IIRC? It was a couple of days ago when I looked at the links).
many commentators doesn't know which page they should comments
People WON'T do the "should" part here very much, but people are oftentimes commenting episode-specific things that naturally get SO out of order it proves the misuse, so to speak, and is useless for future readers who don't watch this or that when it airs. We have Episode Guides and Episode Reviews exist for that... we ALSO have DISCUSSION board posts. If you're on episode 18, your post should have a title indicating your comment goes up TO ep 18 so people don't click one that spoils the show... if you're on 41, it'd go on the page that the 41st episode which I guess is part 2 episode... 14 unless I had the title ep totals wrong from the Chinese link I glanced at (I can't read it so I relied on what might be faultily translated).
Volunteer staff have answered-regular users have ZERO input against them in general when the sides have conflicting views, even in cases where the regular non-staffer is more accurate which isn't even the case here. You're hijacking a page about deleting pages that are empty or actual duplicates (exact ones to the air dates) etc... Look at Arthdal Chronicles Season 1... it had parts 1, 2, and 3... People commenting on something that happened in part 2 put their comments there. General comments of praise or scorn over the whole show, all seasons, go on the first or last, first if you want to impact people's viewing habits, last if you just want to give a post-viewing reaction to share with others. It's still INFINITELY better for your "whole show" reaction to be a review so it doesn't get buried and for comments specific about this or that phase of a show to go in the discussion board or specific episode comments to be episode reviews which tend to be short, concise, and rather helpful in the few cases I've read through them. Fighting volunteers is your business, but I'll say from experience if you have someone telling you firmly "no" (I had that experience with Pachinko, firm no only for it to be put up here a couple of days later), you'll honestly just be wearing yourself out. They have the authority, not you or me. Do 50k big whole page and new actor kinds of edits and cozy up with admins and volunteer staff and maybe your situation will change.
/rant.
Please let this return to the simple "link" + reason. I really truly am annoyed with 8 notifications about this one issue multiple days in a row, but should I unfollow a thread because of your one pet peeve? It's pissing people off a bit. I'd rather not have my comment/post replies buried under this usually-calm, straightforward space's notifications. The reason I even follow the threads about deleting pages is because sometimes data needs to be moved over from one to the other and not all will transfer it (granted, I usually message Hessa or xxmai when I'm moving things over to be sure which page THEY want kept, that "know your mods" thing mentioned albeit a bit snarkily I confess).
