| - I just want to make sure that all the admins on the three wikis in question have agreed on the merger, and that we can go ahead with it in the coming few days. We can discuss the categories, manual of style, and policies on the new wiki at a later date. Does anyone have anything to add? I'm all for it, and I agree with discussing the policies and manual of style on the new wiki at a later date like you mentioned. Neptune - Everything's impossible until someone does it. Someone should probably contact Birdqueen since I doubt she checks this wiki regularly.

It was mainly you and Bella that I was waiting for. Me and Hype both agree that it'd be easier to just move everything here, and if it's fine with everyone moving the stuff we have there, here. And import the KC content here instead, if that's fine with Bird. I myself will help with everything, including the importing, cleaning up this wiki, and filling in some KC content, then I think I'll be on my way. Neptune - Everything's impossible until someone does it. If you're going to go through with the merger, you might as well discuss the manual of style, policies, categories, and other minutia right now so everyone's not lost in confusion as to what to do with these imported pages. You should take the steps to do the preparation rather than just go all in and improvise. 22:47, May 10, 2015 (UTC) The KC wiki does not even have an official manual of style. I wouldn't recommend making too drastic changes to the one we have on this wiki though, as that would cause a huge workload for us. If anything, we could come up with a different manual of style for all three series, or just standardize everything to follow the CHB wiki model. Either way, it shall be a huge workload. KC will still need a manual of style and realistically, there are very few logical ways to organize the information aside from how it is on CHB so it should look similar no doubt. 05:00, May 11, 2015 (UTC) To be quite honest, you aren't going to get an affirmative yes from me for awhile. I need more than a week for the idea to sit and also there are other complications as Atelda has said above. I don't want to throw Bella under the bus as well, but she thinks the idea is also rushed. I feel like we should flesh out other things. I would rather we have more dialogue before saying yes. SayuriDarling | "But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more." 02:24, May 11, 2015 (UTC) My point was, there's no reason to even discuss this project if we don't know that everyone would be onboard if it does in fact end up happening. I wouldn't want to do all this planning just to see someone say no in the end. Even if it's shot down now, it definitely will not be erased in it's entirety. With so much planning still needing to be done, there's ample room to back out now; yet, once that is figured out, there would be little basis to say no at that point. Similarly, the ideas we initiate in the planning stages here would be helpful to Magnus and KC even if the merger gets shot down now. Thus, whether everyone is on board or not should be irrelevant, and instead an attempt should be made to convince everyone through thinking this out and truly getting a feel as to what we are going to take on. 05:00, May 11, 2015 (UTC) To be clear, I agreed that a combining of the wikis would be a good idea, not to whether it would be merger or not(I quite honestley don't care which, it will be the same amount of work for me anyway, but still), or whether it would happen right away. I would like for there to be more planning and preparing before starting this. This whole shebang will go a lot smoother if we plan first and import later. The style of the KC pages is all over the place with random bits and pieces missing, so deciding on how they will look will keep everyone on the same page. We may also end up deleting and/or adding pages depending on what info is deemed necessary. This cannot be rushed if it happens. 03:39, May 11, 2015 (UTC) We aren't rushing into anything. There is no set expiry date for this discussion, so we can talk out every detail if you so wish.
