Overall I'm a bit ambiguous and not necessarily a supporter of the move: a) because I don't feel the present situation is bad / badly needs improvement, nor does it drain much of our staff resources, and b) I see a number of drawbacks of an 'external' wiki for LOTRmod servers, first of which is the aforementioned staff independency issue and second is the spread of attention as a second LOTRmod wiki will simply draw people's attention from this wiki to the other.

In contrast to quite a lot of other wiki staff members, I don't have that 'sense of urgency' to act upon this. Yes, for what it's worth, I agree with you on this. The endless new server pages are annoying, and usually badly-made, but why does that detract from the quality of the articles about the mod? I don't think it does. The wiki isn't something to be polished to perfection, it's an asset to the community. And as someone who would rather see our server communities encouraged to grow (not have everyone drawn to the Official Server) I would be very, very cautious about a move like this, because people are lazy on the Internet and even something as simple as asking servers to put their server pages on a separate website could unexpectedly end up draining a lot of attention from those other servers.
