Otherwise the 2E content would have to be clearly marked at the top of each page; perhaps by using a neat black background fitting to the new theme to set the two apart. Having everything in the same wiki is what I see most often, though maybe by chance I've just gotten a skewed sample.

The page for Wedge, for example, would have his 2.0 information at the top, and a 1.0 section at the bottom. Or I've also seen it split so you have the "Wedge" page for 2.0, and "Wedge (1st Edition)" for the original Wedge, and they clearly link to each other at the top of their pages.

Having everything on one wiki allows for reducing confusion, because all the info is in one place and a visitor can clearly see "oh, actually I was looking for 1st edition wedge and they have a link right here for that". And users can compare and contrast to see how their favorite characters have changed and how they need to adjust their playstyle.

I can see doing an entirely separate wiki though. I'm honestly not sure what's best. The main advantage of a new wiki is admin controls -- right now the owner of this wiki is unreachable and has been for a year or more, and thus it's extremely hard to add additional admins, which we really need to do. Starting a new wiki with owners who will be around often (and pass the torch when they leave) would help a lot.
