:The Keyhole has acted more of a fanon wiki than a encyclopedia website, allowing speculation, cosplay images, fanfics, and other fan-related content onto their site. I do suspect that, whoever the new staff will be, will continue to follow that tradition. It's a good place for fans of the series who dislike our more professional policies (e.g. no speculation or fan-related content) to go and still contribute to the overall fandom in their own way. I'm not sure about whether they would favor competition over partnership, because that will depend on the new staff, but given the long history the KH franchise has and how time-consuming editing is, it is highly unlikely that will compete with us due to the amount of work that will have to do on the mainspace and reorganizing the community. While our community is small like theirs, the KHWiki and its articles are more up-to-date in certain areas. I personally never found the partnership between the Keyhole and KHWiki to be all that beneficial (it's not like our partnership with the KHUX Wiki), so I'm fine with the KHWiki cutting ties with them, but objectively speaking, keeping the affiliation might be a good idea to let other users who find our policies disagreeable to gravitate there and vice versa, as the KHWiki is more up-to-date and fans who want factually accurate information would come here. I am more concerned with the possibility of plagiarism, as it's a very likely occurrence between splinter wikis, but I suppose it's too early to worry about that.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 20:02, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

:To clarify Ninja, FR and Aixon will be leaving as soon as the week is done. DM only came back yesterday, so if he wants to take over the wiki, that's on him. Byz also expressed interest on leadership. That's up to wikia. {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 20:35, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
