User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Creating new wikis on the Unified Community Platform/@comment-4177770-20200304071755

Though I am really glad about the idea of tackling overlaps, I am a bit disappointed this won't be retroactively applied in the face of the "Intentional Competition" paragraph. After all, I have seen CC staff suggesting "create your own wiki and edit there" in the past as a valid answer to solve local wiki disagreements. (That's why I am glad that the "bad admins" issue is also being considered.)

Similarly, I wish this could make already existing wikis merging easier and/or faster, especially in the cases in which no one has edited in ages, the odd user stumbles across them and wonders whether they could just merge without a wish to adopt one of them.

I don't think that requesting the old wiki to be closed when creating a new one could be a valid idea, especially if the old wiki is a large one.
