*First of all, realize I only posted this because I didn't wish to be reprimanded for making a drastic change without anyone else's consent. That's just standard Wiki-protocol. | |||
*Realize, from what I've observed, that late last year was when the Wiki first separated from Wikia, and we were in the process of becoming independent. All of the community's focus was on removing our ties to Wikia and maing this site what it is today. The Wiki was quite dead back then and received little daily activity (I, personally, was severely inactive), thus this was no grounds to have a debate of any kind. When only five people or so are doing the arguing (or at least putting forward the arguments people will listen to) and all of them are in agreement, it's as good as arguing with yourself, and there should be no question in your head as to why the debate devolved. My strong lack of activity prevented me from paying full attention to this subject back when it was contemporary, thus I quickly popped in and voted to keep the articles separate; I was in no position to write some long-winded argument like I am now. I was not following this talk page closely, so there was no way I could know it was past time to vote when I changed my mind (especially when it came more as a "No one's responded, so let's just do it" than "Only one more day of voting, guys") and went with my first alternative of merging all content into "Xehanort" when I realized my first choice stood no chance. The Wiki has made a decision I disagree with, and I'm simply stating my reasons now why I think it was the wrong one, in hopes that it can be corrected or we can at least reach a better consensus now that we actually have a decent-sized community on our hands. What had happened in the past should not get in the way of this. | |||
*As stated above, trying to have a debate when no one is truly interested in debating is poor grounds to have one in the first place. Yes, we're being bombarded with ''KH3D'' information, but now that we don't have something as sizeable as separation from our host site to deal with anymore and people are generally more active, we can focus all our energy on subjects such as these. Just because something's been "settled" in the past, there's nothing wrong with reviving a discussion or trying again to see if results are any different. | |||
While it may have been the Wiki's consensus a while back to merge the two articles into "Terra-Xehanort," only an idiot would say it is still the right decision after all the reasons to support the contrary I posted above. Also, I checked the Keyhole just for ha-has, and they've kept "Xehanort" and "Terra-Xehanort" separate. Honestly, they handle this very well (an article of decent size, referring to Xehanort as "his amnesiac counterpart" in the Youmay template, etc.), and for consistency's sake between this site and its sister site, I see no reason why we can't follow their example this one time. | |||
No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.}} | |||
