Forums: Index > The World that Never was > SPECIAL ROUNDTABLE: COMMUNITY FUSION

There have been a number of IRC discussions regarding the potential benefits of the re-merging of The Keyhole and KHWiki.net into a single encyclopedia wiki at our location. The Keyhole will be supported by our joint community as a complementary website. This means that, as it was original proposed, there will one encyclopedic site and one fan-news and community site run by a single community. In this way, we hope to solve our mutual problems, which include flagging activity, as well as the way-overplayed and unnecessary drama.

Naturally, the process would be complicated. There are many issues that would need to be carefully addressed, so that's why:

SPECIAL INTER-WIKI ROUNDTABLE THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23rd

The roundtable is currently set to be held on #KHWiki-noticeboard. Staff from both KHWiki.net and the Keyhole are strongly encouraged to attend, if at all possible. The rest of our users are also welcome to attend, but we ask that if you do so, you conduct yourself appropriately. This is looking to be a long and complex process, so we need to keep serious on it. In particular, there will be a zero-drama policy. If you're attending and you have drama, be sure to dump it before you come by.

The roundtable will cover such topics as:

• The combining of Staffs
• Merging article content
  • Includes the use of tabbed subpages
• Images and renders
• Fusing policies
• Template and other general issues regarding coding
  • Includes Main Page revamp
• Combining Forums
• Walkthrough space

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to getting our community back together!

Neumannz — ATTENTION, DUELISTS! If you could all stop staring at my hair for a moment... TALK — Those child-grabbing classes were worth every penny! — 20:30, 20 December 2011 (UTC)   I shouldn't have to say this, but I will, just to be safe. We are not having any drama on this. If you disagree with this move, do so politely and with persuasive argumentation. If you start flaming us, the Keyhole, or the re-merge, we will have no sympathy, and any hateful comments posted below will be removed.

So, either way, they'll still be a KHWiki at Wikia, which will get far more views than all of SEIWA's wikis combinded.

Neumannz — ATTENTION, DUELISTS! If you could all stop staring at my hair for a moment... TALK — Those child-grabbing classes were worth every penny! — 14:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)   There appear to be steps we can take that Wikia will allow. We don't want or need to delete the Keyhole, and Wikia hasn't completely hogtied us in making changes to it. And the hope is that once the community is back together, the two sites will direct visitors to each other for their respective purposes. Stay tuned for meeting times.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! I've wanted this to happen for a long time, but didn't know how to best present the idea. If the Keyhole and this wiki have basically the same purpose, why not have all the people who want to contribute to the mainspace come here and make the Keyhole into a fan-oriented site? I'm all for it.

LightRoxas - "I fight for the Users!" TALK - "I'm also better than you!" I agree with you As If. Both wikis have their share of dedicated workers and things they do well, why not combine them like intended? Seems like an obvious decision. And yeha, no need to delete The Keyhole, we can certainly find good uses for it (Theory space, spot to host the Mirage Arena, etc.)

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 20:25, 20 December 2011 (UTC) ...wait, is this forum for discussing the merge or the roundtable?

Chitalian8 Say... — And here's me, playing the world's tiniest violin. Your face is priceless. — 20:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC) Just the Roundtable, I believe.
