Agreed. It's part of ''the Wiki''. Since ''the Wiki'' is moving, it should move also. Anyone staying behind could make a version 2 of it, I guess, if they wanted to........ <small>Though I'd "WTF" if anyone did.</small> {{User:Soxra/Sig|t=5:31am, December 16, 2010 (UTC)}} | |||
{{Xion4ever|time=19:19, December 16, 2010 (UTC)|talktext=Before all is set in stone, I have a proposition: once the Wiki does move, let's hold off on moving the Mirage Arena for a while. Not saying this to be permanent, but temporary. Our main priority is to get everything [each and every article, image, category, user page, forum, user talkpages, etc.] settled into our new "home." That alone will take a good amount of time in itself even with a great number of users helping. The last thing we need during this reconstruction period is a pack of Wiki-Princesses spamming the recent changes with optional, not in anyway mandatory who-thinks-I-think competitions. I don't mean to say that the Mirage Arena or other community voting matters aren't fun-even I enjoy them- but I believe we should focus on getting the "new" Wiki set up first, then worry ourselves over optional voting sessions. | |||
Another concern of mine is exactly what was posted in the "Cons" section under "Staying:" Wiki-Princess attraction. [[Forum:Talk Page Policy|This]] [[Forum:Blog removal petetion|Wiki]] has had problems with Wiki-Princesses as long as I've been on here, and maybe even before that. With the head-butting we've had with Wiki-Princesses through talkpages in the past, I fear the Arena and Coliseum will bring a whole new group (added to the Wiki-Princesses we already have) to the new Wiki. I'll be frank about this: last thing this Wiki needs is more Wiki-Princesses. They are not helpful in many ways (some do edit, but not enough to cover their Wiki-Princess spamming), and distract others from a Wiki's purpose: to provide information about a specific topic. | |||
To conclude: I propose we avoid taking the Mirage Arena over to the new Wiki at least until most/all of the articles/images/etc. from this Wiki have been moved. And I say again, (should my proposition be approved) ''this is NOT permanent! This is temporary!'' I think this is a decent compromise between users who want the Arena to be gone and users who want the Arena to stay. Thoughts?}} |

Pros/Cons of Staying or Going[edit]
Feel free to add your own pros/cons onto this list.
Going[edit]
Pros[edit]
- Moving the MA will help the new wiki with its google rankings.
- The MA is a community favourite, it should stay with the community.
- If the "fansite" wiki really wanted to, they could run their own MA... so it's not much of a loss for them.
Cons[edit]
- Possibility of attracting WikiPrincesses to the new wiki
- Editcount rule would most likely have to stay
Staying[edit]
Pros[edit]
- Editcount rule can be abolished, since the wiki becomes community-driven
- The many WikiPrincesses drawn in by the Keyblade War can be kept on the wiki, rather then to just have them all flock away after.
Cons[edit]
Discussion[edit]
We should move it, why should we have to return to here just to vote? the17master demands Christmas cookies! Nao! 04:14, December 16, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I also think the MA should move. maggosh 05:29, December 16, 2010 (UTC)
