Requests for Comment/Merge the generalized encyclopedias together

Copying what I wrote from Stewards' noticeboard:

Famepedia recently redirected its custom domain to some for-profit business or something, so now visiting famepedia.miraheze.org takes you to a completely irrelevant website. I can't even visit their main page, but you can view the wiki's recent changes page at least.

Now, we have enwiki.miraheze.org, allpedia.miraheze.org, and famepedia.miraheze.org that are both generalized encyclopedias about  with hardly any rules. They've repeatedly gotten in trouble for mass-importing Wikipedia pages and are just horribly managed. I'd say that ingen.miraheze.org is sort of a similar topic, except they don't like Wikipedia's no censorship rule, so given that it's the only encyclopedia we have here that isn't abandoned, maybe it'd be the one that the other wikis should be merged into. However, allpedia.miraheze.org appears to be more active (mostly consisting of people vandalizing it and raidarr reverting the edits), so maybe it's the one that the other wikis should be merged into, and ingen.miraheze.org could be left out of it.

Proposal 1: Merge them into ingen.miraheze.org
Specifically, merge allpedia, enwiki, and famepedia into ingen. Collei (talk) 04:01, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) Something I’d like to note is that this RfC seems to imply that the community can dictate which wikis operate where and under what topic. While I have nothing against RfCs that would set guidelines for duplicate wikis and the like, to have the community seemingly attempt to dictate local wiki actions, and single specific ones out, seems like extreme overreach. If you believe that they’re duplicates, then it can be reported to Stewards for investigation. But to attempt to have the global community weigh in on the issue and make a decision is complete overreach in my opinion. BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 04:37, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The local communities would be expected to be involved. The main point is that duplicate wikis are against global policies. Collei (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

General comments

 * 1) This RfC is very badly formed. It doesn't tackle the issue of how their pages will be merged, how duplicate pages with the same title will be handled, if local project administrators from the merged wiki will also be promoted on the new wiki, and many other topics. Additionally, all the wikis in question except for allpediawiki have been deleted for being Wikipedia clones + other issues so this RfC is essentially moot.

 * 2) The fact that two out of three wikis mentioned have been closed, that none others have been listed, on top of the many logistical issues of actually doing this, make me concur with the above comment that this RfC cannot go anywhere. --Raidarr (talk) 04:41, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * They were closed after the RfC was opened.
