MGE content will be moving to another wiki site (February 27th, 2017)

Migration of core content to mgewiki.com
As some of you might be aware by now, the wiki will be undergoing a pretty big move soon™. To summarise this action: We're removing all official (i.e. anything not user created) Monster Girl Encyclopedia franchise content from this old website (www.monstergirlencyclopedia.wikia.com) and moving it over to our new website www.mgewiki.com. Why are we moving sites?
 * A number of reasons but the two biggest ones are:
 * The ability to control what is and is not allowed on the site per our own content policy. Wikia sells itself as a family friendly site and as such, disallows posting of any explicit content (both written and image content) which is an obvious problem for us. Remaining willfully ignorant to the rules worked until the site's popularity grew large enough that Wikia staff members took notice and began to enforce their content policy.
 * Greater fundamental control over the platform and how the content is presented to users. Wikia is a for-profit organisation and as such, must make decisions that prioritise capital gain which often leads to increased burden on users such as: inability to access accurate metrics on site usage, forcibly being served advertisements that can hamper/disable the site, increasingly bloated site structure, etc.

What is going to happen to the old Wikia site?
 * The previous site has always had a large fanfiction and roleplay setting which will be turned into it's new, primary focus. Character profiles and fanfiction posts will be permitted onto the main space and image uploading rules will be relaxed to allow users to fully engage with the FF/RP community. Once all the franchise material and fan artwork has been transferred and properly set-up on this new site, it will be removed from the old Wikia and mainspace pages will be opened up.

When is this move happening?
 * It's been happening for months behind the scenes. If you visit the new site, you'll notice that the large majority of the content has already been transferred and re-formatted to fit our new standards and practices.
