User blog:JetCell/Wiki news: merge and overhaul

To provide a full database on dart blaster and Super Soaker information, we are happy to announce the merge of Nerf Wiki and Nerf Blaster Wiki.

As stated, this merge will bring over articles on dart blasters and Super Soakers that are off-brand from Nerf. Brands in this merge include Buzz Bee, Lanard, X-Shot, and more. The site will be branched off into sections, or "portals", that focus on specific topics, such as off-brand dart blasters, Super Soakers, blaster modification, and answers about questions pertaining to anything related with dart blasters.

While the Nerf Wiki will now have articles that may not pertain to Nerf, the main bulk and focus of the site will be Nerf products.

All non-Nerf articles will have either "Off-brand:", "Super Soaker:", or "Modification:" in front of them to avoid confusion between portals of the site. To help avoid more confusion, the site will be color-coded; Nerf products will be red, off-brand dart blasters will be green, Super Soakers will be blue, and modification will be gray.

The merge will also help to clean up the wiki and make it more accessible for users to view:


 * "Famous Nerfer" pages will no longer have their own personal page and will instead be compiled into a list page; we will still hold stance on the creation of "Famous Nerfer" pages. If you wish to have your own information on the site, do so on a user page, blog post, or forum post.
 * New infoboxes that pertain to a different section of the site. Like portions of the wiki, they will be color-coded to help separate the site.

With this merge, we also announce a new administrator, GameGear360, and a new rollback moderator, NStrikeAgent335.

Feel free to comment here and please let us know your thoughts and concerns about the merge.
