..I'm getting rather annoyed at this situation, the merging was going slow but steady and I felt the wiki was doing good for it, now I come and find it has suddenly taken a bombshell.

I'm keeping my words short because I have to speak as an admin here and keep personal opinions limited but let me make something very clear:

the wiki is changing but it will not do so over night, rushing this is only going to lead to unpleasantness and we don't want to be seen as dictators any more than you wish to for us to become such but in the end admins have one sacred duty they must always uphold : keeping a wiki from falling apart.. I don't think this situation is remotely at the stage of admins taking any extremes but it is clearly at a stage of a "cease and desist".. at least until the mergings are properly debated over.
