Club Penguin Wiki:Archive/CPW and CPFW merge

Okay hi.

You've probably seen this forum about the inclusion of Fanon on our sidebar. TurtleShroom yet again remarked on something I did, I don't know why, but Sea tried out something. This is what he said:

“	Ya know, i have an idea. The fanon and cpw can merge into one big wikia nd we will have tons of google juice, and be one of the biggest cp info sources ever. The admins of the fanon will still be the same and be given a special "Fanon Admin" right, which gives them all the admin tools but they only work on the fanon part of the wiki. What do you think? We can work togetehr instead of fighting all of the time. We can even have different skins for the different areas of the wiki!	”

Now, I don't agree. Explorer does neither:

“	No offense, but that's just going to make the merge wiki go kablooka. Ever since the CPW Reformation, the Fanon and CPW have been... opposed. Users on the CPFW have different beliefs than the CPW, and the polarity is just too much. The potential for a flame war to erupt within the first few weeks of the merge would shake the wiki to pieces.	”
	— Explorer

And here are my reasons:

No fanon merge. Own topic yes, but seriously the only reason why I don't want it is: chaos... Here's my other points:

• A lot of us have grudges on eachother.
• It's too ambitious. It's so ambitious it's a shambles. Firstly, the admins will block eachother or whatever. Secondly, what's the point of a "Fanon Admin" right, we can just have an "admin" right. Thirdly, they were given admin rights on their wiki, not ours, and that will cross-over the rules. Fourthly, there is no way we're going to get a new right made.
• They have twice as much more content than us, we might as well call the merge the "Fanon" wiki. There's going to be a 2:1 for Fanon to be a random page.
• We're canonical, they'd have to change a lot, Explorer is too correct. It's too big. It's an ambitious idea, a great idea theoretically, but realistically it won't work. Nothing more than a dream in my opinion. Especially my 2nd point.

I am with Ced, Zap and Explorer on this one. But what do you think? Should we or should we not have a giant merge with fanon where our articles and their articles go under one name with different namespaces. We'd be like a fansite, which would be great! BUT. THERE IS A BUT. Theoretically, bravo to Sea for the idea - I would love it, but we hate eachother! It's doomed from the start. If Fanon and CPW never had any grudges (the grudges only happened because TS and his bias made everyone think our changes made it worse).

Fanon are free to have their voice on this, they do have a freedom of speech, but no SiteNotice things or whatever telling people to vote no - but this is a global vote, so I don't mind if Fanon advertise this forum. It's quite an important matter, I think it's doomed from the start, but this is a democracy and I would love to see people's views on this - especially Fanon's.

So what do you think? And any other ideas? Post below... --Tigernose Chat • Edits 19:09, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
