Isn't SmashWiki now part of NIWA? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 00:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Isn't SmashWiki now part of NIWA? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 00:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
:It is indeed. Or to be more specific, the SmashWiki that '''left Wikia''' is a member. What is left on Wikia now effectively a dried husk. [[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 01:49, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
==Wait a minute...==
Hey, i noticed that most NIWA members put the NIWA site in their affiliates section, right? Well, guess what, Sonic Wiki put the NIWA in it's affiliates! Is it going to join? I doubt it, but u never know. Maybe it is the member that is coming out on Nov 30th? ----[[User:Desukaan563|<span style="color:blue">Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Desukaan563|<span style="color:yellow">talk</span>]])''</small> 03:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:{{bp|Talk page policy|Off-topic}}.

== F-Zero Wiki ==
There really needs to be a non-Wikia F-Zero Wiki... --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 01:46, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
:There is a [http://mutecity.org/index.php/F-Zero_Wiki non wikia] wiki of F-Zero. [[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]] 01:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
::[http://www.google.com/search?q=f-zero+wiki That explains why I don't see that in a Google search as a first result.] --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 07:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:::It's not the first result, but it is on that page. I see it as the third result. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
==Seriously==
We don't need to have a bulbapedia page for each NIWA wiki. It only creates incomplete articles due to the fact thatthere isn't much about Pokémon that is related to any of the NIWA wikis. [[User:Wildgoose|Wild]][[User talk:Wildgoose|goose]]-[[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|The friendly goose in town!]]  21:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
:Due to the nature and namesake of the articles they wouldn't be about Pokémon, they would be about the wiki that the article represents. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 01:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
== Kingdom Hearts Wiki? ==
Just curious, does anyone know why the Kingdom Hearts Wiki (khwiki.net) is not listed as a member of NIWA?
Their main page states that they have recently joined... Am I not aware of something?

:Kingdom Hearts Wiki are members of SEIWA, which is an alliance of independent Wikis focusing on series related to [[wikipedia:Square Enix|Square Enix]]. They are affiliated with NIWA, but are not considered "full members". --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 01:45, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::I'm pretty sure they are just affiliated with NIWA, not a true member. Members are Nintendo produced wikis. [[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]] 01:47, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Yep, as Chickasaurus explained, they are a member of [http://seiwanetwork.org/ SEIWA] and an affiliate of [http://niwanetwork.org/ NIWA], but not a member as only Nintendo-related wikis can be part of NIWA. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
== Counting ==
Unless I have recently lost my ability to count, I count only 21 wikis in the lists, despite everyone saying there are 22 wikis in NIWA. Is there a reason 1 is missing or is it that everyone who says 22 is wrong? - [[User:Groudon 60|Groudon 60]] ([[User talk:Groudon 60|talk]]) 16:30, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
:Probably counts Pikmin Fanon. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 17:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
::Hard Drop Tetris Wiki recently joined, and the admins didn't have time to implement it on the main page. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 15:29, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
== Hard Drop Tetris Wiki ==
Since it doesn't have a page, could someone add the page about Hard Drop Tetris Wiki? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 10:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Actually I'm not sure we should have all these individual articles on our affiliates. They have nothing to do with Pokémon. Should we keep those NIWA articles and create a Hard Drop article? Or delete them all? We already have a [[NintendoWiki|wiki]] that has pages of each wiki because that is the wiki for Nintendo in general. But as we are the Pokémon Wiki and these articles have literally nothing to do with Pokémon, they shouldn't be here. The Mario Wiki article doesn't mention its' Smash Bros. content and Smash Wiki doesn't mention the Pokémon pages. And even when we add that information, that won't be enough. I can write an article about {{p|Pikachu}} appearing with [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/User:SeanWheeler/Pikachu Sonic] (despite only appearing in two Smash Bros. games, [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|one]] of which isn't released yet) better than connecting the F-Zero Wiki to Pokémon. I've even asked the guys at Smash Wiki if they can have articles of the NIWA wikis describing their Smash coverage, but Toomai rejected the idea, and the Super Mario Wiki article I created before the response wasn't very good. And the affiliates has more Smash Bros. than Pokémon. I asked about why we have this articles on our [[Talk:Super Mario Wiki|Mario Wiki talk page]] and {{U|Chickasaurus}} agreed that these articles are irrelevant and should just redirect to Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. Judging by the fact we don't have Hard Drop in the mainspace, either the admins are still trying to decide on the NIWA articles or are working on Hard Drop in the userspace. But after a search, it seems Hard Drop isn't even in the userspace, so looks no one is even working on it. Well, better to wait to decide how we handle these affiliate articles. I mean, just because they are partners with Bulbapedia, grants them an article despite having little to no Pokémon content?

:I agree. They're poorly written and off-topic. [[User:Mountain Drew|Mountain Drew]] ([[User talk:Mountain Drew|talk]]) 21:18, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
::This late in the game, all of our affiliates will retain their articles, and any new affiliates will still have articles created about them.

== Inkipedia ==
It appears NIWA now has a new member: [http://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Inkipedia], a wiki for Splatoon. We'll need to update this and everything related to NIWA accordingly. Also, how are we doing a link template for this one? [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 16:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
:A interwiki prefix needs to be added to the interwiki prefix table before a link template can be created. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
::Not sure what we'll be using as an interwiki prefix, to be honest, as ip is already taken by Icaruspedia... [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 17:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
:::I would recommend <code>ik</code> or <code>in</code> as those don't appear to be language codes or taken by other affiliates. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:48, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
::::Both sound good as candidates. I wonder what the others think. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 17:55, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::ink is straight-forward and really has no chance of being used for anything else. Something might come up that in would be good for. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 18:03, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
== Fire Emblem Wiki ==
Looks like FEW changed their main page URL from [http://www.fireemblemwiki.org/Main_Page] to [http://www.firemeblemwiki.org]. The old URL 404s. I think this need to be changed on the NIWA template, and the page for FEW, unsure where else. [[User:RotaRaichu|RotaRaichu]] ([[User talk:RotaRaichu|talk]]) 09:07, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
