For those who have not yet heard: Last year, Gamepedia and Fandom joined forces. This year, we even became one unified platform by moving wikis from both sides to the same up-to-date version of MediaWiki. The teams at both Gamepedia and Fandom want to encourage our communities to work together now instead of splitting their efforts and competing with each other for readers and new editors.
I'd like to know how all of you here feel about uniting with Gamepedia's Idle Champions community. That would mean we archive one wiki - lock it from editing but keep the pages accessible to readers - and put a banner up that directs visitors towards the other, active wiki. Anyone who used to edit the now-archived wiki would be able to contribute to the active wiki, and any content on one side that's missing on the other can be moved over with edit histories intact.
Note: No merger will take place if both communities don't agree to it.
The advantages of becoming one community working together are clear: By working together, all fans of Idle Champions could build a resource on the game more effectively, keep it up-to-date more easily, and players would no longer be confused as to which site they should turn to for information.
There are two questions
Are you interested in merging with your partner community on Fandom?
If so, where should the future active wiki live?
Both wikis have significant amounts of content. The Fandom wiki here receives about 142,000 pageviews per month. On Gamepedia, it's about 124,000 per month. That would make Fandom the more likely choice, but only by a very narrow margin - and what really matters is where content is most up-to-date and where editors want to edit.
Could you see yourself contributing to the Gamepedia wiki? Would you love to see the two communities united, but only if it's here on Fandom? Would you prefer to keep the two communities separate entirely? Please speak up.
Can't wait to hear what you think!
