Arwingpedia:. What we will do with these pages falls under three situations:- If we don't want it at all, delete it.
- If we want part of it import the wanted text/image/etc., and then change the page to a redirect.
- If we want all of it, then move it to the main namespace.
- Before taking any actions, it is recommended that you discuss any individual page's merging-related action, unless it is obvious what we should do.

End of the Merger
Via Community Consensus, The merger has been declared over. As a wiki, we are now back to officially discouraging taking anything from any other wiki's. If there is something on arwingpedia still missing, please ask permission before bringing it over. If not, we may need to delete it.
In addition, staff positions of Arwingpedia effective after 10/25/2010 will no longer be automatically granted. Similarly to the above, we will be back to the old conditions of becoming staff:
- The current/active staff discuss potential candidates, and offers the position to those who everyone can agree on.
- Open positions, if available, will be posted on the main page. When those happen, they will still be discussed by the current/active staff.
