Question about the procedure of adding a category extension leaderboard to a game

Hello. Me and the Klonoa speedrunning community might be interested in adding a category extension to one of its games in the close future : (https://www.speedrun.com/klonoaprs)

As the lead moderator of the game, I will be the one adding it. However, I'm having doubts over the intended procedure.

I understand you have to do it from : https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/game-adjustment. I assume "Request New Game Or Series" isn't the way to go. Rather, going Request Adjustment To Current Game > Game Type. I select the game in question. I then cross the Category Extension box. Doing so, the "Base game" prompt shows up, on which I write the name of the game again ? I'm just unsure of how this system work, how each of these prompts affect the outcome of your request. And I wouldn't want to make a mistake.

I'm sure it's something simple. But I don't know better than asking here.

Category Extension boards are basically just a separate game page from the game itself. So if you want a Category Extension board created you request a new game. That said, since you're the series moderator, you can simply add it yourself through the series. Then after the page is created, then you do Request Adjustment To Current Game > Game Type > Category Extension for the new board you just created, with the Base Game as whatever game the category extension board is meant to be associated with.

So I was definitely going to do a mistake... perhaps even a big one. But it's all clear now. Thanks for the help.

@SkittlesCat Huh? Who told you that, and since when? It would be weird and unnecessary to create secondary leaderboards for a mostly dead game, but I've never heard of there being a hard requirement, and 8 seems like a weird number for that.
