#{{Oppose}} - I like the idea of having user choice, the two sites operate completely differently with different formats, community etc and it offers friendly competition and user choice. It would seem a shame to move that. --[[User:343 TheGuiltyProphet|343 TheGuiltyProphet]] ([[User talk:343 TheGuiltyProphet|talk]]) 16:47, 7 January 2019 (EST)

#{{Support}} - Halo has a promising future ahead of it and I think it should be complimented by unity on all fronts of the community, and one of the most important things would be having one simple united go-to hub for information and lore that combines everything we already had, just this time together and undivided. We should be thinking foremost of the future of Halo as an entity and community; there's everything to gain.
#{{Support}} - This is wonderful news. We need to be united. This news should be spread on Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.[[User:TheEld|TheEld]] ([[User talk:TheEld|talk]]) 13:32, 7 January 2019 (EST)TheEld

#{{Support}} - I spent a lot of my youth on Halopedia. Our contributors fortunately offered me the opportunity for me to lead and more intimately curate the wiki. I’m still salty that Wikia forced our hand, splitting the project into competing communities. Halopedia’s split played a large part in a lot of old timers reducing their commitment or entirely quitting wiki curation. I’ve lost touch with so many good friends from our shared youth. I wish we could’ve done better for y’all. {{User:Helianthus/Sig}}

#{{Support}} - I joined after the split happened, so I have no idea what that practically entailed, but I can only see good in the long run from merging the wikis. More people working on the wiki, provided patrolling and regulation standards are maintained, can only be a good thing.--[[User:D9328|D9328]] ([[User talk:D9328|talk]]) 14:35, 7 January 2019 (EST)d9328

#{{neutral}} - I largely echo the concerns that [[User:Nicmavr|Nicmavr]] raised in the comment section, in that unless the Wikia community is either re-formatted to serve a different function as to not continue to split traffic, such as by making it Halo community rather then Halo lore focused, or otherwise to ensure that Halopedia is used as the primary site for canonical information, that this split is fairly pointless. If anything, it would be negative, since it could leave the chance that the Wikia site will continue to get the most traffic and stay on the top of google searches, yet will cease to be updated or will only be updated by unqualified editors. I think it is imperative that prior to any decision being made, a concerete plan be made regarding what will happen to the Halo Nation wiki, and that it be verified that such plans will be not be interfered with by Wikia. My vote will remain neutral until anything changes; and I will change it to be support if it happens, or Oppose if it becomes apparent this cannot happen.

#{{neutral}} - Admittedly my opinion is mostly based on my past interactions with the Halo Nation admins. IMHO, it would be best if they joined like normal users instead of instantly being given a position of authority within a month.
