I vaguely remember many years ago, shortly after Protostealth got the axe, we had a discussion that very clearly outlined the need for the ACFW to exist - separate from Acepedia.

At this point there was also an effort to weed out any fan-speculation on Acepedia, followed by a filtration process that ensured that all of the information on Acepedia was correct, canon, and confirmed. Meanwhile ACFW thrived doing exactly what it was created for.

My main point here, is that I think that the two wikis have been doing well on their own, and that bringing them together would probably ruin the quality that Acepedia has spent so long working towards. An example I'm thinking of is all the stories that I wrote on ACFW at the time. It was a poor writing effort that only loosely fit in with the framework of canon story events. I wouldn't want an unsuspecting Acepedia reader to come across that and accidentally take it as facts. I understand that all fanon articles would have disclaimers that highlighted that they weren't canon, but I feel like some users won't get the message regardless.

Secondly, I'm kind of fuzzy on how exactly this benefits the collection of Ace Combat fan works. I feel like having all of the fan work in the same place, a dedicated fan site, is the best way to maintain consistency. Users here have always been able to cross-link from here back to Acepedia. We also grab files and whatnot from Acepedia as well, so there's already a fair deal of cooperation on Acepedia's part for ACFW.

And finally, you're still the admin of both ACFW and Acepedia. You'd still be the boss regardless of whether we were one wiki or two. Mainly the problem with ACFW right now is inactivity. But that's not something you can control, by any means. I'm sure if someone posted fan content on Acepedia, you'd direct them over to ACFW. What I'm trying to say is that if ACFW were to pick up in activity again, like it did back in mid-2013, then we'd solve our inactivity problem. There wouldn't be any problems with organization or management, because we'd still have you.
