A whole lot has changed since this thread was started - in a good way! Did you know that Fandom (formerly Wikia) and Gamepedia have actually joined forces last year and are a single network now? That means this wiki and the Gamepedia Fortnite Wiki aren't competitors anymore, at least not in the strictest sense of the word.

It's still true that the Gamepedia wiki has more pages than this one, more active editors and more traffic, too - This wiki here received 523,000 pageviews in the last month (which is a lot), but Gamepedia received 815,800 in the same timeframe (obviously, even more).

Which means there are a ton of Fortnite fans out there who want to look up information about the game, and a lot of editors who want to provide it. I'm pretty sure we all agree that, in an ideal world, there should be one wiki for all of them to flock to. One that has all the information and where all passionate editors work together. It would make sense for that to be the Gamepedia wiki, since it's already getting the majority of the attention, and especially since all Fandom and Gamepedia wikis will move onto a single unified platform later this year, and all have the same tools and features.

Of course, actually merging the two Fortnite wikis still is far from simple. A whole lot of people have put a whole lot of work and care into creating the wiki here, and that needs to be honored. I'm sure there are some pages here that are missing from the Gamepedia wiki, or pages that cover the topic better than their Gamepedia counterpart does. Those would need to be identified and moved over. Folks who have admin or other special rights here would not want to start over on Gamepedia as regular users - if they wanted to move over at all.

I'll say this: If the community here is at all interested in uniting with the Gamepedia community, despite the complexity of this endeavour, I and the rest of Fandom's gaming team would be happy to help!
