One of the reasons they could be more popular is because they have high activity, activity boosted by active forums and RP.

I am not a fan on RP, and I don't use the forums often unless I see a question I can help with. And seeing that we are not an RP wiki, I would say that we should split.

However, we must look at how both groups would handle the separation.

To use a real life example. My church a few years back decided to branch off and create a new church because we where always full, instead of doing a second service later in the evening. While it looked good on paper, when the split occurred, both groups suffered because there where those who where no longer there to help. To this way the older church's membership is rather low and had no young members to drive things forward.

To bring it to point, us splitting may look good on paper, but in the end both groups will now be weaker because there will be fewer people.

If we had more people using the forum, then we could justify the split, as they would have the numbers to keep their new wiki active. But right now neither the mains pace or the forums have the activity or numbers to handle a split.

Instead of all or nothing, we should take a step back and look for a middle ground. Like us still having the RP boards, but not officially splitting, like a test to see if activity would justify the move.
