==Overview==
Considering the ridiculous scope of the merging process, we're divvying it up. It will go a lot like the audit, with the big complication of around 10 months of divergence between KHWiki and The Keyhole. This means that instead of just bringing things "up to speed", we'll need to compare the contents of the two wikis and merge them together where appropriate.

Not everything will be a big deal. Most likely the only serious concern will be the mainspace, and even then there will probably be specific groups of articles that need extra attention, such as character pages, world pages, or really anything that has "Story" sections, or similar.

So, like the audit, editors can volunteer to cover a selection of articles from a Keyhole namespace, and they will compare the contents of each article to the corresponding KHWiki article. The easiest way to compare content is to copy-paste the text from the Keyhole article to the destination KHWiki article and hit the "Show Changes" button. Be aware that if there has been a lot of divergence, you'll still have to read the two texts to compare the contents.

#*For example, the Keyhole has more separated "Boss" articles than KHWiki, and KHWiki's "Boss" articles have been moved to the Game namespace (or "gamespace"). Another example, KHWiki is using the Japanese names for the known Dream Eaters, while the Keyhole is using the translated names used by the Kingdom Hearts news sites (e.g., [[Wandanyan]] vs. [[wikia:kingdomhearts:Wonder Meow|Wonder Meow]]). Check your destination when comparing/adding content.
