Community Central talk:Merging

Main Page
I have just merged a wiki, but am slightly confused about how to mark the wiki's main page (although marking the wiki's Central Wikia page was fine). The Central Wikia template (Template:Merged) won't work on other wikis, so I just copied most of the template's source text, removed the image and made it all BIG. (It's on w:c:egmontfleetwaysonic:Fleetway Sonic Wiki if anyone wants to see what I did.) Is this suitable? -- Supermorff 19:55, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

I have now found out how to merge Wikias, and amended the wording of this page for clarity. -- Supermorff 17:32, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Why isn't this policy?
What are the concerns about this that keep it from being policy? Or is Wikia waiting for overwhelming support from the community? I think we need a reference for how to merge, but wouldn't expect the community to be enthusiastic about the concept - just "Meh." --Jesdisciple (talk) 03:57, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Why has this been deleted and a redirect put in it's place?
I found this page much more helpful than the help page on the subject - the instructions were clearer, especially the section on what information to include when contacting wikia staff. bloob ( talk ) 12:21, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
