Of course, Kryten seems adamant that he should not be a bureau, which I think we should honor. For this to be the case, we would need to promote one of our active admins to bureaucrat.}} | Of course, Kryten seems adamant that he should not be a bureau, which I think we should honor.

{{ShardofTruth|time=01:54, 22 December 2011 (UTC)|talk=After reading the horrible long log and the page at The Keyhole, I now feel ready to post some thought of my own: | |||
Firstly I think the merge is a very good idea because the articles are stagnating somewhat on both wikis, although I think it's worse here (with the exception of the walkthrough and KH3D articles). I won't elaborate this point further, I just think the problem's core is the shrunken userbase.<br> | |||
We moved here because we were unhappy with Wikia's choices. I and probably all other moved users thought that the left over Wikia site would become desolate and obsolete in the end. Now that did not happen (causing most of the conflict potential between the wikis as a result) and there are various reasons it did not turn out like this. The most important one is that the users over there wanted to do things differently or didn't agree on how the wiki worked before in the first place. The outcome was a slightly more fandriven but in all other areas competitive wiki updated by excellent and resourceful users of their own.<br> | |||
Now I feel we've come full circle and are at a point again where decisions are made that could produce yet another schism. I feel that we (the khwiki.net) have to become more open and make concessions to unite the userbase. To make a standardized and well written encyclopedia is a noble cause but hardly done alone. To keep the target audience of Kingdom Hearts interested we have to create more space for communication and socializing and relax the no fanwork rules in these areas.<br> | |||
Making the The Keyhole a fanwork, community and news platform ("for real" this time, completly ignoring the [http://kingdomheartsfanon.wikia.com/ Kingdom Hearts Fanon Wiki] again) may not work out this time too.<br><br> | |||
The merging process itself will be a lot of work. Thanks for pointing out the basic working sites The Inexistent, but there are many areas that need to be discussed. The Keyhole goes different ways in the article design by now and it would be a real shame to diminish all their effort and hard work just to get our way across. On the other hand our image renovation and renaming project is 99% complete and that was a real pain to achieve.}} | |||
