Forum:Migrating from FANDOM to a new host: Difference between revisions

 

::::::Now let's say we ''do'' fork, but that we continue to edit the old wiki here on Wikia/Fandom and thus continue to remain members of the community here. Are we allowed to link to the new wiki in any way or form? I have seen instances where entire ranks of administrators have been desysopped and even globally blocked when they tried to put up links to the new wiki, which seems overly aggressive and completely unlike the collaborative spirit that a wiki should be (definitely has painted onto Staff an extremely negative and antagonistic connotation that will require a lot of work on Staff's end to mend). In what ways are we allowed to link the two wikis together? At the very least the "External links" section should allow for links between the two wikis. If we remain part of the community and the community consents that the two wikis should be linked together, for Staff to overrule that would be going against community consensus (and thus not being "Community First", and the argument that Staff cannot serve forked communities is invalid because we have ''not'' left the platform and the community still on the platform has arrived at a consensus to do so). And whatever the case may be, I would argue that such rules should not apply in our [[Project:Fanon Portal|fanon namespace]], where fanon authors are free to request the deletions of their fanons at any time; they should be 100% completely allowed to replace their fanons with links to the forked wiki if they so choose to do. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 19:21, March 17, 2019 (UTC)
