Above is my most recent correspondence with Sannse in relation to the announcement telling us that our wiki will be merged with other wikis. If you haven't seen the announcement I'm talking about, you can read it here - https://lgbta.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Sannse/A_new_combined_wiki
This came as a shock to me and our staff members as we had not known about this until today. It should be noted that I had been messaged in a Slack chat by Sannse last night at 8pm. I did not see this message, as it was sent in a chat that hadn't been used the entire time I've been Bureaucrat, though I don't blame Sannse nor myself for my not seeing it. My point here is that we staff members found out at the safe time as everyone else here.
I still feel that even if I had seen the message, one day and no opportunity to have a say in the decision to merge the wikis or to have any input into this new wiki is completely ridiculous, and shows a complete disregard for me, our staff members and this whole community.
I did state my case to Sannse, as seen in the above images but I fear there will be little I can do to prevent this merge. That being said, if you want to have your say or help us archive our pages, there are a couple of things you can do:
Someone has made a petition here - https://www.change.org/p/fandom-users-stop-the-lgbt-wikis-on-fandom-from-being-merged
You can add replies to a comment that one of our admins has made here - https://lgbta.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Sannse?threadId=4400000000000238980
And you can also join our Discord to help us with archiving pages here - https://discord.gg/QJ8GaFWr
Thank you everyone - I'm doing my best to fight for this and our Discord will remain a safe place for all queer folks no matter what. I'm so sorry this has happened and that we were given such little notice.

Updates:
I've been in contact with the staff members of Ezgender Wiki, who also oppose the merge and who didn't know about it before I told them. Please make note of this small PSA with regards to Ezgender: https://lgbta.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000239145
Updates on my correspondence with Sannse:
We've registered a subdomain here and are getting our pages copied over, in case the worst comes to the worst: https://lgbta.miraheze.org/. Though note that we may not end up moving here permanently if we feel a different host would be better, etc, and we will make a formal announcement when we know what we will be doing going forward.
