For those who have not yet heard: Last year, Gamepedia and Fandom joined forces and are now two platforms on the same network. Later this year, we'll even become one unified platform. The teams at both Gamepedia and Fandom want to encourage our communities to work together now instead of splitting their efforts and competing with each other for readers and new editors.

I'd like to know how all of you here feel about uniting with Gamepedia's Heroes of the Storm community. That would mean we archive this wiki - lock it from editing but keep the pages accessible to readers - and put a banner up that directs visitors towards Gamepedia. Anyone who used to edit the now-archived wiki would be able to contribute to the wiki over on Gamepedia, and any content on one side that's missing on the other can be moved over with edit histories intact. That means none of your work would get lost.

Note: No merger will take place if the community doesn't agree to it.

The advantages of becoming one community working together are clear: By working together, all fans of Heroes of the Storm could build a resource on the game more effectively, keep it up-to-date more easily, and players would no longer be confused as to which site they should turn to for information.

So: Are you interested in merging with your partner community on Gamepedia?

Both wikis have very significant amounts of content. This wiki here receives about 36,000 pageviews per month. On Gamepedia, it's about 213,000 per month. that means the Gamepedia community is already better known, and is the logical choice as the active wiki going forward. Its articles are also more up-to-date and complete. However, that doesn't matter if the users here do not want to move there.

Keep in mind that later this year, both the Gamepedia and this Fandom wiki will move onto the same platform and then have a very similar if not the same layout, tool set and staff support.

How do you feel about bringing both communities together? Are you willing to help move over content, should that become necessary? Would you consider joining Gamepedia?

Can't wait to hear what you think!
