If you’d like to be a Volunteer helper for the Merge Process, please list your name in the comments so that you can be counted.

Now I will explain what we will be doing. Firstly, we have to import the data from the Official Wiki over to this one. This requires a bit of technical know-how, but me & the other admins will mostly handle that. It depends on just how good Wikias Import System works. Next, we will have to analyze all of the page that we Import (we should be getting a little less than thirty new pages). We will have Volunteers pick the pages they want to analyze (this requires no coding knowledge) & then they’d analyze them. Now I know you’re asking, “wtf do you mean by ‘analyze’”? What this means is that you will pick an imported page, say, the Overlord Page for example, & then you will look at the Imported page & compare it to the Overlord page we already have. If you see NEW information on the imported page, then you should add it to the overlord page. Once you’re done comparing the two pages, so long as there’s no new info to add, then we will delete the Imported Overlord page, meaning that we will have successfully integrated the content from the imported page into the already existing page.

Now, because these are two different tasks, we will have two different groups of Volunteers, Import Group & Integration Group. Import group will have maybe one, two, maybe even three at the maximum, but we might not need any at all. Their job will vary depending on how good Wikia’s Import system works. If it takes the whole page, we won’t need any, but if we need to copy each & every page, then we will need Volunteers to help with the copying. It’s not complex, I will handle the coding stuff, you’d just be copying. If you’d like to be in the Import Group, then tell me so.

Next is the Integration group, & we will need around 3-10 people to volunteer. This group will handle the “Integration” process. What this means is that once we have the data imported to our Wiki, you will each pick a few pages to Integrate, & then you will do exactly what I said; you will compare the imported pages to the existing ones, & then add any new info you find. Once you’re done with a page, you can tell me, & then I will do a quick check over your work. If it looks good, that page will be considered “Integrated,” so I will then archive/delete it. If you’d like to be in this group, say so below.
