A partnership like this was not what I expected. A similar situation happened back in 2007, but at a smaller scale, with Wikia's Zeldepedia and the privately-owned (now Gamepedia-owned) Zelda Wiki, but the merger was declined.

Now that this is a thing, it does seem possible for that sort of merger.
