Hey everyone!
We've had multiple discussions about a merger. The admins from all three wikis have finally voted and decided to go forward with the merger. This blog should be updated with all the information of what we are doing moving forward now.
First moves will be this:
Admins
User:Birdqueen102 (KC & MC), User:TheSonofNeptune (MC), and User:Atelda (KC, previous admin of CHB) will be promoted as they are admins on the other wikis. There are two more admins who have no given their opinions on the matter, so they will not be promoted yet. I will let you know if they are.
Importing
Neptune and Borean will take care of importing the pages. All pages will be locked until the merger is finished. Feel free to comment on blogs, forums, etc. and go on the chat though!
Templates
Your admin girls + rollbacks (User:SayuriDarling, User:RoyallyBella, User:Hermione Chase) will be helping with moving templates and making sure that they are renamed. Admin templates, infobox templates (see example 1, example 2, and warning templates will be redone.
Other
We will be redoing the background, changing admin color links, and changing links.
