Unfortunately, I can't really think of any cons other than this will require a lot of work, which is what we, as editors, are used to. :) Neo will stop by to further discuss the merger for those who need more information.

:What up, guys? I'm Justin (AKA Neo), and I'm going to explain a bit about this. I mentioned the idea to BNK awhile ago, but it only got serious recently. Merging would mean that your content would be exported from Wikia and imported to Lylat Wiki. All of the active staff members of Arwingpedia will be promoted to their respective status on Lylat Wiki. Rollbackers would become patrollers, though. It's basically the same thing, except they also patrol edits and have their own edits patrolled automatically. If you don't know what patrolling is...See | :What up, guys? I'm Justin (AKA Neo), and I'm going to explain a bit about this. I mentioned the idea to BNK awhile ago, but it only got serious recently.

:Anonymous editing at Lylat Wiki is currently disabled due to a large amount of retarded spam, so you wouldn't have to worry about attacks like that. | :Anonymous editing at Lylat Wiki is currently disabled due to a large amount of retarded spam, so you wouldn't have to worry about attacks like that. | ||
:Another thing is that you'd have more control over the wiki. It isn't owned by Wikia, it's owned by me, and I extend that ownership to my staff. As long as major scale changes are run by me before they hit, I'm fine with anything that the staff agrees upon, basically. That means that you can get extensions, skins, etc., unlike Wikia. | :Another thing is that you'd have more control over the wiki.

Hello, I just wanted to stop by and see if there were any questions I can answer for you here. I know what some community members may not be happy about the new look, but we hope that you give it a try before you decide to leave. The wiki here will remain open for whoever decides to remain. Let me know here or on my talk page if I can provide any further help. Best, --[[User:Sarah Manley|Sarah]]<staff /> <small>([[w:c:community:Forum:Community_Central_Forum|Help Forum]]) ([[w:c:community:Blog:Wikia_Staff_Blog |blog]])</small> 22:31, October 22, 2010 (UTC) | Hello, I just wanted to stop by and see if there were any questions I can answer for you here.

::Well, considering the people who run the wiki (See [[:Category:Administrators]]) have deiced to close the wiki, and no one objected, I see no problem with it. However, as a comprimise, i will change my request from "a note asking people to stop making edits" to "a note recommending people to stop making edits, similar to what [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page smash wiki] has done".
