On NCT (NCT127 and NCT Dream) #9

NCT is a really complicated concept, I've come to learn. NCT127 and NCT Dream are both subunits of the larger group NCT, but promote, release music/MVS, go on tours, etc. as if they were separate groups. Most of the time, subunits travel and live with the greater group and will only perform one or two stages of a whole-group concert by themselves. 127 and Dream operate nearly independently of each other (and were ranked separately in the data we found), so I thought it'd be best to make 2 completely separate pages for them. But now, I'm realizing that I want to be able to show/link subunits (like 3RACHA of Stray Kids) in the group page, which has thrown a wrench in things...

I think I'm going to make one big NCT page with every member (there's 23 of them now... oh, boy), keep the separate 127 and Dream pages, link to the 127 and Dream pages on the NCT page, and use the Schematron to link all of it together. It's weird and very overly complicated, but I guess doing it this way will demonstrate that.

I'll try to get this whole thing done (and maybe knock the Dream group page out of the way, too) by tonight.


[EDIT]: I've got the new full NCT profile page done and uploaded. It establishes the member xml:ids and now links to the 127 and Dream pages via the Schematron. I'll keep this issue open for clarity.
