Forum:Merging wikis

I am the new admin of the adult swim wiki, which is covers a television programing block that has over 30 shows, and I was thinking of asking some small wikis that cover individual adult swim shows to merge their content in to the adult swim wiki to form a more comprehensive wiki.

After a search through forum archives, I've found that you can in fact merge two wikis. I was wondering if there is a limit to the number of wikis that can be merged together into one. Spencerz 21:25, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Technically speaking, no. Realisticly, depends on applicable community and activity there, and whether they want to merge and if it would be beneficial to move.

Thanks. And I didnt consider adding wikis like Aqua Teen or Metalocalypse that have large communities and many articles. I was hoping to add little wikis, like those with less than 10 articles. Or those who haven't had edits in a number of months. Spencerz 21:38, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * For example, someone searching for ATHF would find the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Wiki easier than a wiki with all the shows under Adult Swim. They have a good number of articles, so a merge for that wiki might not be feasible. -- 21:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * An option for those sort of wikis with little real content and no active editors, would be to add a note on the front page with a link to your wiki 'suggesting' user may find more similar content at your wiki. Any useful pages could be duplicated on your wiki but credit the source in the edit summary and at the bottom of the page (possibly even adapting the wikipedia template to give a proper back link if adding more than the od page or part page). This is an alternative to formally taking them over, which you could still apply for as well. - BulldozerD11 23:38, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
