-==Poll==
-Hello everyone!
-As some of you might have noticed, there are currently six wikis about “Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.” Three of them either agreed to merge and/or are inactive since 48–100+ hours. This means we currently have three ''relatively'' healthy and active wikis about “Ancestors”.
-Two wikis are on Fandom and each have been founded by a volunteer who is still maintaining their creation, and they also have at least one relatively active and loyal additional editor.
-The third wiki is on Gamepedia (property of Fandom since December) and has been created in 2017 by a Staff Member, and had the same kind of activity burst that Fandom’s wikis got. Active members count is similar too.
-Now… '''If we want to share a “one-stop shop” for knowledge and sharing about “Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey,” we might have to decide which wiki will receive the most attention.''' Some people think wiki should be left to a peaceful death as editors and readers organically and slowly migrate toward one or two wikis, but I personally prefer to ''organize the organic'' so things evolve a little bit faster. 😋 (Oh… That makes me think of a game…)
-Before the decision-making, I want to share some info:
-* Staff Members can help us to migrate data from one wiki to another while retaining history and user contributions
-* Data show that both Fandom’s wikis share a similar level of popularity and activity. I think the least popular one suffers from its high count of “orphaned pages” (pages that are not linked anywhere on the wiki), so I would personally call it a tie. Gamepedia’s wiki received a lot more visits, but being curated by paid Staff Members since 2017 definitely explains a lot about that.
-* Full Disclaimer: I come from the Gamepedia’s wiki. 😑
-* Finally: Editors said to me that Gamepedia is blocked by some school-issued laptops and tablets because it has the word “game” in its URL or something. Fandom isn’t blocked.
-* If you have 15 minutes to lose, look at that video of me browsing through the three wikis 🤦‍♀️: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP4APaFgddc
-Without further ado, let me share with you this *tool* that might help us to make a decision (and legitimate the whole process) '''AND''' URL to see the two other wikis with your own eyes:
-* https://ancestors-the-humankind-odyssey.fandom.com/wiki/
