Board Thread:Wiki news and announcements/@comment-1585211-20131207142428

NOTICE: while I am requesting GameGear360 to post this, I wrote all of this and I am expecting him to post it exactly as written. Created by Nerfmaster8.

Since Phase 1 was completed and agreed upon without much of a hassle, let's move on to Phase 2! This is where a bit more disagreements may arise and I hope that we can get through all of that rather than cancelling this. This is a second effort to merge all the wikis into one or at "most" 2 wikis.

let's start with NBW first in this. through discussions with NSA335, he has agreed with me that NBW has a lack of content. the most useful content consists of the same images that GG posted on Nerf Wiki. another thing to mention is that the first merge was supposed to close down NBW but NSA revived the wiki, that wasn't supposed to happen.

with all that said, let's see if we can all agree to perform a full merge of Dart Blaster wiki, Buzz Bee Toys wiki, NBW and DBE into a single off brand wiki. if off-brand is split that doesn't mean that we will NOT work together with Nerf Wiki.

Current issues with Off-Brand Now is the time to bring up any and all disagreements, I do ask that everyone tries their best to add as much positive criticism to the discussion as possible. Rather than deciding to merge everything into one wiki, which seems to be the root of the problem here - a lot of users are not happy if jet is in full control.
 * Nerf Wiki bias: focus on Nerf tends to create a bias against off-brand
 * layout issues: multiple portals and or general dislike of article set up
 * Nerf Wiki and DBE’s article naming don’t seem to be liked much…
 * location: since we have agreed to remove, Buzz Bee Toys & Dart Blaster Wikis, those don’t count any more. Now all we need to do is select between NBW and DBE on where to merge all off-brand to, please consider the review from Phase 1.

Additionally I want to propose a few users to gain new user rights if a majority of the community agrees. this is to help alleviate any bad feelings and or concerns. we can start these users off and if everything goes smoothly then we can discuss further on future user rights. after these promotions, a formal process will be set up to prevent abuse and waste of time.

 * NStrikeAgent335: rollback/chat moderator
 * THE MAGSTRIKE GUY: rollback/chat moderator
 * NSA & TMG: Could both of you guys act a bit more mature on the other wikis relating to Nerf? even though I am willing to support a promotions for you guys, local staff here does need to be shown that you can handle yourself and the responsibilities that come attached with the promotion.

Last of all guys, everyone can see your comments on other wikis. it doesn't help when you guys agree here but start trash talking elsewhere such as on NBW. like i said in the initial post, now is the time to bring up any and all concerns! Please don't start a chat/blog/poll in secret discussing this, let's keep this in one place.
 * Polls and Blogs have been temporarily disabled just for this discussion, once its over everything will be enabled again. This was by my request.
