::::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) |

:::::I am in full support of the merge as we have articles on the wiki about games outside of the main PC game series, but I cannot support the administrators of the The Sims Freeplay Wiki regaining their same abilities over on TSW. We worked tirelessly a couple of years ago to re-work the entirety of the User rights process, and as someone who took great part in re-creating the process, I would be quite insulted if our policies and rules were ignored. Your community members are free to join our wiki as regular users and if they wish to be a rollback, content moderator or perhaps even an administrator, then they would have to follow the same process as the rest of us. ~ [[User:Beds|<font color="purple">'''Beds'''</font>]] <sup>([[User_talk:Beds|<font color="#66CDAA">'''talk'''</font>]] - [[User_blog:Beds|<font color="#66CDAA">'''blog'''</font>]])</sup> 21:41, April 29, 2020 (UTC) |

'''Strong Oppose '''- The merger just won't work-it's like trying to merge this wiki with the SimCity or the MySims wiki-both of those are meant for different audiences. The solution is to just increase edits on the Freeplay wiki and just skip the merger.
