It may be that the Wiki is very important to the prosperity of servers, and I don't deny that there may be unintended consequences here that we should aim to avoid, whatever we do. But the benefits of a new wiki, I would say, outweigh that of maintaining the current situation. A new wiki provides a place where it is easier for server-related discussion to happen: we don't have server forums, hacker report boards, or anything like that. While these features don't fit on this wiki, they could work on another one. That website would have the added purpose of acting as a hub for the various server pages, while providing amenities that we cannot provide here.

As opposed to my initial statement, the great outcry from many server officials and you yourself has caused me to reconsider, and I do not think we should fully eliminate server pages from this wiki. Maintaining the more prosperous servers, as well as a list and small descriptions on the Servers page, could work well in maintaining the function of this wiki in helping users to find new servers. These would of course have links to the real server wiki, as you yourself proposed. I think that seems a fitting compromise--we avoid the elimination of certain server pages and the repercussions of that, while maintaining links to lesser-known servers on the Server page. However, the bulk of the "work" and server-specific features take place on the additional Wiki.
