Heya :)

Weird. I thought I had answered this yesterday. Well, I guess I have to just answer it all again. Let me take all your questions again:


 * Because there are so many pages to move, I won't be performing the move myself personally. It has to be handled by our Engineering department.  Consequently, I can't quite say when it's going to happen, but the request was for sometime this week, so we have time for cleanup before the World Cup begins.
 * The request is indeed to move from football.wikia to the-football-database.wikia, as we've discussed before.
 * I can understand where you're coming from on the short pages thing. However, I didn't make this a part of the request.  The main reason is that it would be relatively easy for me to carry out with my own bot, so I wanted to make sure you had a chance to manually review every short page and tag the ones that you absolutely want to go with  .  That way, I can delete all the un-useful short pages super quickly, but we make sure that were not deleting something that is actually a genuine stub.
 * As to your first question, in general, I think the usual form in this situation is just to allow all admin on the wiki being closed to retain their rights on the new one. And certainly it would be my recommendation that you do so in this case.  I have within the last couple of years found that long-dormant admin have woken up at w:c:tardis, and they've been nothing but a benefit.  I would strongly recommend that you just allow them in.  However, if you have specific reasons to deny particular people, I'll certainly review on a case-by-case basis with you.  Does that sound fair?
 * I don't really understand your final question. Could you maybe show me a picture — from another wiki if need be — that illustrates the way the thing should be working so that I can understand better?

Finally, I heard from Rappy today that you thought your js scripts weren't working. After consulting with Re coded NL, it does indeed appear you've got some sort of problem with your code loading from dev.wikia.com, but I'm not quite sure what the problem is. It's not related at all to the merger, which hasn't begun yet. I'll poke around for a few minutes on it, but it actually looks like something completely unrelated to the work that's going on.
