The Nails Wiki should also notbe a problem as there is no active community. Hair Wiki, however, has what *might* be considered a "modestly active" community.

From my last merging wikis experience—and I don't believe much has changed since—you are free to EXPORT pages from donor wikis at pretty much anytime. Exporting maintains intact the editing history and accreditations. It is only Importing which needs to be done by an Admin of the recipient wiki. Although at over 300 pages each, Staff might lend a hand with it. You'll need to let them know if you also want images ported over.

As I said, the Hair wiki has a moderately modest community. Last activity was 14 days ago, Feb 20th, and Dec 19th. So *someone* is aware of the wiki. I don't think it is active enough to block a merger, but still you should probably post a courtesy Blog about the intention to merge, with links to the new wiki, that all pages and info will remain intact only in a new home.

I don't know if Staff will want to redirect Nails Wiki and Hair Wiki urls since they are decent urls for potential new wikis, but that is of course Staff's call.

Let us know how this goes. Yeah the hair one seems only real ify one (but I can see it being the one that benefits the most since no one has updated that wiki in ages, activity again may spark it up again but merging may provide even more).

The activity appears only in comments, besides I think one reversal of spam by a random anti-spam reverter (and I have already talked to them- they have no interest to actually stay editing there). But because it's only in comments I doubt any actually pay attention to the actual wiki (just the single articles they google). So making a blog on a dead wiki would moot or just create more confusion about its activity, imo.
