:::I'm not outright opposed to the Freeplay admins getting admin on TSW. But, TSW does [[The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship|have a process in place]] for adding new administrators, and that process is a part of our broader community policy and can't just be ignored. The admin selection process on this wiki is meant to ensure that any admin selected is supported by the community. Given that none of the Freeplay admins currently edit on TSW, it'd be hard for the community here to know much about them or be able to give an up-or-down vote on their getting admin rights. We could bypass the regular RfA process ''if the community supports doing so,'' but that would require discussion; it's not something that an individual admin or bureaucrat here could okay on their own. |

:::As well, so far this discussion hasn't gotten enough input to establish community consensus for the merger in the first place. There is no opposition here as of this comment being written, but we've also only heard from a couple members here. I don't think a merger could fairly move forward until this matter gets broader consideration. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 05:52, April 29, 2020 (UTC) |

::::I like the idea of a merger, but I'm staunchly opposed to the FreePlay Wiki admins getting the admin bit here automatically. None of the admins there are regular editors of this wiki and are unfamiliar with how the processes of this wiki work. And after the *&^%storm of not too long ago where a "Content Team Member" used their sysop powers to ''delete'' our templates using a [[TSW:CSD|CSD criteria]] that was incorrectly applied for that purpose ([[Forum:Rough Start/Hello and Helping with Portability|link]]), I simply cannot support an initiative where users are automatically given the admin bit here. The wiki has already suffered enough from too many people unfamiliar with how the processes here work getting the admin bit, and it's clear that our autonomy is not being respected. I will not support a proposal that further undermines the local community's ability to run this wiki. —[[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>]]) 21:22, April 29, 2020 (UTC) |
