Hi Jamie! Thanks for being alert to new wikis on the list! I will certainly keep an eye open for conflicts like this -- this one in particular should have been given a more specific name since it was about a roleplaying game, not about Marvel Comics as the other *.marvel wikis are.
However, unless you are actively working on another language version, I don't want to turn down an enthusiastic contributor who wants a new wiki, just because they're not part of your group -- that's not fair to future requesters. Here's my suggestion: first, put together some suggestions for "starting a comics wiki in a new language" (perhaps in the Help or Project namespace on each wiki), and I can point new requesters to this guide so that they can cooperate with you before and after the new wiki is made. Second, continue recruiting comics fans who speak other languages to request and start seeding wikis, so that you can start building active communities in the most popular languages before this becomes an issue again. :) You might also want to think about the best way to export and translate the templates that you use most, if those would be helpful in getting a new wiki up and running with a similar look and feel. Thanks for all your enthusiasm -- the comics projects are a very vibrant part of our wikiverse and we're glad that you're here!
