Dragon Quest Wiki has been unanimously expelled from NIWA. Therefore, we need to decide what to do with our interwiki links to them. This is starting out as a discussion rather than a vote, as the possible options are not yet set in stone.

My belief is that we have three options.

  1. Keep things as they are.
  2. Slowly go through the wiki and repoint/remove links. When done, delete the interwiki item.
  3. Delete the interwiki item, breaking all the links immediately. Then fix or remove them later.

The resolution of this discussion will also be used for any such future cases, should there be any. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Dispenser 18:53, December 11, 2022 (EST)

I would think Option 3 best, the red links (if they would be red links?) will make them easier to locate while removing them, and it shows unity with the decision NIWA has made. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 19:00, December 11, 2022 (EST)

Another option (Option 4?) would be to update the URL of the dragonquest interwiki entries to point to the FANDOM Dragon Quest Wiki. Then if another Dragon Quest wiki ever joins NIWA, the URL could simply be changed again. This has the benefit of keeping most of the existing infrastructure in place. --Porplemontage (talk) 19:15, December 11, 2022 (EST)
