About merging accounts, the only thing we considered, which may be in the works is helping the other wikis set up OpenID registration and log in. It's completely optional and the users could go from one wiki to the next and be signed in. Bulbapedia and its many language affiliates would benefit the most from that system.

Oh and hey I have a suggestion... think we should have a thread of Forum suggestions and another for wiki suggestions? (just thinking out loud)

WiKirby is a start up, we aren't claiming it's perfect. Afterall, It's not launched yet. Kirbypedia is running on MediaWiki 1.6 with no extensions added. This tells me they know Kirby games, but don't have the technical expertise to actually be a strong wiki. I don't like the "nobody can edit but us" rule either. But if they want to get with us and work like how Zelda Wiki.org was formed, I'm open to that. Zelda Wiki.org was formed by several Zelda sites merging their content and sharing staff duties. However, at this point WiKirby has little content as we've mostly been debugging and testing. With the expertise we have from running our home wikis and the support of those, we'll be in good standings relatively soon. After all, the tricks we've learned over the years at our wikis are utilized from the get-go here.
