| - Summary: The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki is considering joining Wikia ACG, below is some information on what technical things in the project or policies will change as a result. Links to more information on the project after the list. I didn't intend to mention Wikia ACG to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki until the project had grown a good deal, but TwoTailedFox seamed pretty interested in joining the project, so I guess I'll ask the community for some feedback on this and detail what would end up changed:
* The Project uses a set of bots to sync various things across all the wiki in the project:
* There are some pages that these bots would overwrite here:
* would be overwritten by Anime:Template:Delete.
* would be overwritten by Anime:Template:Disambig.
* And would be overwritten by Anime:Template:Stub.
* Also, the Anime:Template:Fair use may have a few more options for use than your but they are different titles so yours won't be overwritten.
* There are a number of licensing templates for use also. Along with a number of interesting other ones.
* Also, the images inside of w:c:Naruto:Images/noedit will show up here.
* I haven't finished enough work on TagSyncBot yet to let me exclude UserBoxes from being synced so all the ones at Anime:Project:Userboxes/listing will show up here. But, when I fix things up extras that don't fit can be excluded.
* Wikia ACG Has a set of Global JS/CSS that will be referenced:
* A new Show/Hide will be working.
* I have a special Box class for CSS which is very nice for doing styles for tables and other boxes and templates.
* If you want to use them, there is a good bit of preloaded JS that work nice for userscripts that do things like adding tabs, tabmenus, etc... And it's possible to add my BasicTabs and even WikiSwitch systems.
* Wikia ACG does have some global policies, but I don't think any should really be a problem:
* Copyrights: This is just the basic copyrights page, it's more of a shared page so that other projects don't half to bother creating one.
* Fair use policy: The basic Fair use policy, but we normally wave the act of tagging each and every image for those wiki which have been around awhile and have a few hundred images already.
* Jump start from Wikipedia policy: The policy does talk about starting articles from Wikipedia articles, but that goes on a "Don't reinvent the wheel, unless it needs reinventing" motto and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki is already more comprehensive than Wikipedia so that doesn't really apply. Theres a bit of information on the project at What will happen?, Anime:Extended information, and Wikia ACG Terminology and the project page is at Wikia ACG. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen-local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 18, 2007 @ 23:45 (UTC) Some community feedback/input/confirmation would be nice. Even though TwoTailedFox says that he likes the idea we can't really go ahead without feedback from the community. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen-local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 21, 2007 @ 16:38 (UTC) Just a small note but, as the 25 will make it a full week that this has been up right on the main Community Portal where everyone looks. And pointed out on both the Main Page and in a Sitenotice. Since the Founder and most active admins agree with the idea they do intend to go ahead with this without feedback if no-one posts any feedback, or even a question by tomorrow. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen-local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 24, 2007 @ 13:00 (UTC)

* All you editors out there: Comment! Even to support this idea, we at least want a general idea of the support this idea has amongst you.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 21:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
* At the moment I see no reason to support or not to support it. It could cause more problems or make things easier. It is a double edged sword. Big Boss 0 21:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
* In response to the potential to cause problems, remember you guys will have a say in how Wikia ACG affects its members in general and Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki in particular. So hopefully when a problem emerges and has been identified, it can also be resolved via the involvement of the communities. -Afker 22:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
* ^_^ That was actually addressed off page: User talk:TwoTailedFox#Concern, User talk:Big Boss 0#Wikia ACG. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen-local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 25, 2007 @ 22:43 (UTC)
* Well I sort off like the idea and I agree with Dantman that it needs community support to progress further.."Go Ahead..Make my Day" ..--Cometstyles 21:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
* I don't really see what difference it will make. As long as the way things are entered doesn't change...too much, at least...I'm sort of neutral on the issue. --Narchibald84 13:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

* We can make a list of the advantages and disadvantages it will cause, then we would be able to see if it is better to support the ACG Project or continue the Wikia in the way it is. I can't make the list because I don't know much about this, but maybe another person like an administrator can do that. What do you think guys? --Dragon Slayer 20:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Well I can't really come up with a good list, I've already listed out the pages with information, and made checks to make sure that nothing on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki collides badly with anything that Wikia ACG Shares. But I'll try to list the different types of WikiText/JS/CSS additions that would be added (Even though those pages I've pointed to already give that information, if anyone would actually care to read them...) Wikia ACG deals in 2 main things... Shared content that makes it easier for wiki even without good technically knowledgeable editors to have useful complex templates and other js and css. And a unification of wiki; Primarily through some global policies that the projects in the wiki have in common and agree on (None of the current ones interfere with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki, and by joining the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki will have input into the creation of future ones, so there's no issue with policies), and through backlinking (Basically all the wiki in the project link back to the central wiki in the project, and the central wiki in the project link out to all the focused wiki; Kinda like a web, it makes it easier for similar wiki to be found and theoretically helps spread out both readers and editors to all the wiki). Heres some of the bits of shared content:
