Lylat Wiki:Merger Proceeding

This page is about the Merger procedures started on 10/25/2010 and ending _____. During this time, we apologize for the the wiki slowing down, creating errors and such.

Details

1. Mass import and export - Currently happening
   • During this time, the wiki will be edit locked, too allow the wiki to catolog and index all the new pages.
2. Modifying the new pages - Hasn't happened yet
   • After being exported, but before being imported, they are placed under the custom namespace Arwingpedia:. What we will do with these pages falls under three situations:
     1. If we don't want it at all, delete it.
     2. If we want part of it import the wanted text/image/etc., and then change the page to a redirect.
     3. 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.
   • All -talk pages will be moved to a Arwingpedia_talk: and will be surrounded by Template:Tl template to preserve it, but allow additional comments added after.
   • Also note: All Arwingpedia_talk: will be open to be edited by all users, but Arwingpedia: will only be allowed to be edited by admins. This is to ensure the page isn't ripped apart by multiple editors all trying to help with the merger, and possibly for getting a step or two of the process. All users will still be able to view source, and will be enabled to edit the page they wish to bring the related content to.
3. delete all Arwingpedia: and Arwingpedia_talk: pages so we can remove the custom namespace. - Hasn't happened yet
