You'll have to pardon me folks, for not knowing most of you. I've only recently been coming around here and thought I'd help try to broker a compromise on the issue. I've had my far share of mashing folks heads to sensibility creating consensus as I used to be a bc over at Nukapedia. Me being new here is kinda a good thing, though. I don't have a dog in this fight, so I can approach this from a position of neutrality. What I see is a fundamental problem causing a rift in the user base. You've got a us/them kinda thing going on over the focus of the wiki. I can understand that and it ain't like we haven't had something similar over at Nukapedia.

But here's where I was hoping I could help: One of two things is gonna happen. Either one or both sides here is gonna dogmatically stick to their guns about what they want and nothing will be solved. The divide will still be here, problems will still arise. The other possibility is finding some kind of compromise that both sides can live with. The compromise suggestion from the discussion thread looks to me like the only workable compromise that folks can come around on.

So, it's up to you all. It's your community, I'm just a bystander, but the choice you make here is gonna effect how the users on this wiki get along for quite a while. Choose wisely.
