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)


 * I came up with the idea some time ago, but I am not a Wikia employee. Matthias 14:18, 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)


 * We're doing some cleanup on this wiki and the redirect was part of that. Help is a better place for this information since that is shared out onto all wikis. I know you've been doing some merging work recently, so please feel free to edit the help page and add text from the redirected page that will be helpful to other users. Or, if you prefer not to do that, respond here with some more detail and we will make update the help page. Thanks for the note!

 * Thanks for the quick response! I'll definitely do that once I get a minute. :) -- bloob ( talk ) 16:51, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
