Personally, I doubt it will aid with organization as all wikis experience anomalies with certain topics or pages.

Nonetheless, the same issues with infrastructure that plagued the previous discussion (here) have not been offered concrete solutions (specifically, staff-wise). So would it be worth it to step on a few toes?

At the same time though, there are still ample sections that need information on just this wiki. Merging would dramatically increase these neglected sections. So, would merging be beneficial or not in this case? It could by increasing our user base, yet that also does not mean that they have even read the series or are interested in helping out.

Atelda, BirdQueen is the only active admin on KC, and she's an admin on Magnus Chase as well. She could keep on as an admin, and whichever Magnus Chase admins are chosen to be kept as well. This wiki doesn't have the same amount of active staff it did the last time we had this discussion, so there really wouldn't be a staff overload.

Another thing is, one would not have to read all three series to contribute on the "Riordan Wiki, or Rickipedia". They could just edit whatever pages are relevant to the series they read, and discuss which book series they read. For instance, not everyone reads every DC Comic released every month, yet they still edit on the DC Database. They just edit the pages of stuff that they've read, or are interested in, and the same goes when we discuss stuff over there.

Also M.J., the Mummy Wiki is called "Rickipedia: The Mummy Wiki" but they don't have the url (rickipedia.wikia.com) and the site that does have the url can easily be closed and the url given to us, also multiple wikis can have the same name. Calling the site "Rickipedia" wouldn't be the same name, because there's is "Rickipedia: The Mummy Wiki".

Lastly, that's why we stopped everything for now. A decision hasn't been reached on whether a new wiki would be started, or CHB Wiki would be adjusted to host TKC and MC.
