Hey, Porple. There are some news, the folk from Pikmin Wiki, the one hosted at wikia, are moving in. The community is finally being united in a single place. Big changes will be happening here. Because the users at Pikmin Wiki don't want to lose their edit history, we figured the best way to keep the history but still allow the content to remain like normal was to import the wikia mainspace pages into an "Archive" namespace (edit history included), where we'd manually merge the best bits of the wikia page with the page we have already. Of course, this doesn't apply for pages we don't have, like loads of ''Pikmin 3'' pages. We want you to create that "Archive" namespace, please. If you have any better idea, that'd be great. If you need to talk this over a bit better, come on the IRC; GP is there from 19:00 or so until 23:00 or so, but I'm there from 11:00 to 1:00 most of the time (these times are GMT). Thanks! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:13, 21 July 2014 (EDT) | Hey, Porple.

:What about just importing the articles over our existing articles, then reverting them back to the newest Pikipedia revision? Merges can be done by comparing our latest revision to the newest Pikmin Wiki revision. If imports are done for pages that we shared pre-Wikia fork, then we'll be importing revisions that we already imported in 2010. Using a new namespace we'll have exact same revisions in two places, but if we import right over the articles then duplicate revisions will be skipped from import. Once the pages are merged it would be nice to have both sources of the merge in the page history so the contributions of members of both wikis are together in one place instead of having one off in another namespace where people probably won't know to look. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 16:45, 21 July 2014 (EDT) | |||
