The Sailor Moon Wiki and WikiMoon are completely different wiki brands. WikiMoon has been around longer than SMW and has completely original content (not to mention it covers more than they do) while SMW just copies and pastes whatever's on Wikipedia with some very minor alterations. That's not the case with the two Hetalia wikis where it's virtually the EXACT same content. There's no point in two places having the same identical content; not to mention it's too confusing and could spark some unnecessary conflicts (ex. one wiki says this, the other says that). Also, many of the people who worked under the old management don't even want their content up here anymore and only want it at the new wiki. They would much rather have it deleted rather than re-worked under any new management.

Honestly, I doubt bringing in any new rules would do any good. Creating a rule that forbids copying off the new location won't keep them from doing it. I have no problems reworking this location into something else. But having two places with the same content, word-for-word, is out of the question. It just doesn't make sense to me and personally I'd much rather see this place possibly be an extra branch to the fanon section and cover certain things that we don't at our current home (though I'm too not sure if some from the old management would be up for that. They would have to throw in their two cents in this matter as well).
