Lefty, I want you to take a deep breath and realise that those numbers are nothing to worry about, and neither is Candy Crush Soda Saga. If you see the amount of change in those numbers before CCSS came out, there were some days in the thousands followed by days in the hundreds. Those dips were just a natural part of the daily edit flux. The viewing figures are staying consistently high at around 60,000 views per day. In fact, those stats are amazingly good! In the middle of a brand new Doctor Who series, the Doctor Who Answers wiki is still only managing to rack up an average of 2,000 views per day and less that 100 edits, and this is currently the "on-season" time. Candy Crush Saga is a game which has managed to pass its peak in popularity yet has still managed to retain a high number of dedicated players who have played into the higher levels and loads of interest, as proved by those brilliant statistics. Candy Crush Soda Saga is not going to take away that core of dedicated players still playing Candy Crush Saga. People are too proud of their high level achievements to start again from the beginning, and they already have a strong loyalty to the game. This new game release is no different from any other King game release and will impact Candy Crush Saga in an identical manner, ie by a negligible amount. Candy Crush Saga will continue to be played, and the wiki will continue to be edited. Candy Crush Saga Wiki is one of the largest, most enthusiastic, and most loyal communities I have ever seen, and you aren't going to see it drop away soon. So rest easy, Lefty. Candy Crush Saga Wiki isn't going to fade away! I understand how protective one can feel over a wiki, but this wiki will continue to fight another day, bringing joy and information into the hearts of thousands, if your view count is anything to go by!

Onto the more practical matters, I think the Candy Crush Saga Wiki and the Candy Crush Soda Saga wikis should remain separate wikis, but with significant links between them. For example, linking to each other in the navbar and templates which link between similar subjects at the bottom of their pages. In fact, making those templates can be the first thing I do on Nov 1 if you want! Don't see this new wiki as competition but as a friend who can help you grow as we help it to grow. Working together to establish the highest density of Candy Crushing goodness on the internet!
