Shouldn't only one project be involved with a profile? [closed]

I'm working on a 5-star profile for the Germany Project, but it has project boxes for both German Roots Project and US Southern Colonies Project. It looks awfully clunky and hurts my eyeballs. Maybe it is just me, but I would prefer there be only one project box and changing the other one to a sticker seems a better idea. It is being managed by the Germany Project. What does the community think?

If you look at the profile don't worry about any other part, it is "under construction." I'm verifying sources and reformatting them.

The Southern Colonies are not managing here and their project box should be changed to a sticker.

But profiles can be shared by two projects and in this case, the profile should also be part of the Palatine Migration Project. We already have three other Jacob Miller's who migrated in the same time period and it would be wise to have all four on the same watchlist for the inevitable issues that will arise.

Palatine Migration shares a number of profiles with Germany project including two other Jacob Miller's.

Concerning the rules two projects could be project manager, but this is only the germany project. So it is only under their protection. Therefore it should only have the germany project box. And you are right, the other one should be changed into a sticker.

A profile can have two project boxes but that is the maximum, and of course, both projects should also be managing the profile. Sometimes a profile is actually worked on by two projects.

Unfortunately, I can not find the page where it can be read.

"A profile should never have more than two Project Boxes."
