No, sites mergers are not being forced. I imagine that would be a catastrophe given that they now have separate staffs and have diverged in the years they've been apart. If you look at the two wikis, their layouts are completely different and both are active (though the Gamepedia version definitely has the lion's share of activity).

Fandom is doing something called Project Crossover, which is supposed to be voluntary. In the event one wiki is dead and the other is not, merging them is straightforward, but it sounds like Fandom is going to take it slow or allow both to exist in the case of larger, more active entities.

If Gamepedia had included anime and Attack on Titan had a separate wiki there, the staff here would understandably be concerned about handing over control or being forced to work with people we don't know. We'd probably have different guidelines for what's allowed and how articles are to be written. That situation is likely true for Warcraft and other games in this predicament, so if the two staff teams aren't in agreement, mergers are unlikely to happen. Fandom shouldn't be in a position of choosing which wiki team will remain in charge if both communities are active.
