Forum:Merging Wikis

On this blog, I had mentioned a merger of Mario Kart Racing Wiki, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Wiki, and Mario Kart Wii Wiki with MarioWiki. And possibly the Mario Party Wiki. -- B a s s  J  apas  15:29, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Steps of the Merger

 * A doption of the Mario Kart Wii Wiki.
 * Adoption of the Mario Kart Wii Wiki involves an Adoption Request over at Wikia Community Central. I'll most likely put in the adoption request, since I've gone through the process (somewhat) before. I'll start editing there once I get home from school (in four hours and fifteenish minutes) and will put the adoption request in at the end of the night.


 * M erger of the Mario Kart Wii Wiki and the Mario Kart Racing Wiki.
 * If the adoption request for the Mario Kart Wii Wiki goes through, I'll Special:Contact Wikia about a merger of the two wikis, since I'd be admin on both of them, so there won't have to be a proof of approval.


 * S omehow come into contact with Launchballer.
 * I don't know if this is needed, but since Launchballer is B'Crat over at Mario Kart Racing Wiki, it might be needed.


 * M erge the newly merged Mario Kart Wiki (previously Mario Kart Racing Wiki, and Mario Kart Wii Wiki) with Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Wiki.
 * Through Special:Contact, we'll request the two wikis to be merged. With Admin Decision.


 * C ommunity decision to merge the following two wikis.
 * This would most likely be done by Count Caterpie since he is the admin who should be B'Crat  of this wiki, and the founder of Mario Party Wiki. CC would have to send in the Special:Contact. . Since he's founder of the Mario Party Wiki, and the admin here.


 * M erge the remaining wikis together.
 * The remaining wikis would be the newly formed Mario Kart Wiki, and the newly formed MarioWiki. Someone, preferably an admin of the Mario Kart Wiki (so that'd be either me or Rainbowroad6w, who would have obtained admin during the merge) or CC. It'd be best if it were CC sending in the Special:Contact, since he's the admin of the wiki we're merging to, and he has more experience.

Advantages
By merging these five wikis together, we'll potentially obtain:
 * More users
 * More pages
 * More images
 * Better quality pages
 * Better quality users

Disadvantages
By merging these five wikis together, the following could happen:
 * We lose editors because the editors that edit solely on the spin off wikis would come up to a "This Wiki Does Not Exist" page
 * Vandals
 * It'd possibly be hell to move all the pages
 * Power issues
