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. There are 822 pages from Arwingpedia remaining.

Details

1. Mass import and export - Has happened
   • During this time, the wiki will be edit locked, to allow the wiki to catolog and index all the new pages.
2. Modifying the new pages - Currently happening
   • 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 need to be surrounded by Template:Tl template to preserve the original, but will 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 forgetting 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 namespaces and edit rights.- Hasn't happened yet
4. Have the wikiprojects intergrate the remianing pages into our current system(s) and up to our standards - Hasn't happened yet
   • examples:
     1. Have the templates meet our standards,
     2. Have the articles be reviewed by the Stub-, Decent- and Good-Level Review Teams.
