NIWA Discussion / Re: On the subject of Zelda Wiki no longer being independent

The future is still being decided. It is entirely possible that Zelda Wiki has to return to the world of independence, in which case, they will need NIWA's help. Not being rash and removing them earlier this year might be what stopped a disaster.

True, though I feel temporarily moving them to the Affiliates tab would be a nice middle ground solution until they either become independent again, or fully consumed by Fandom.

My opinion, which as I gathered seems to be the opinion of most people on Discord, is that the entire situation is shaky, but unless something really shady happens, we have no good reason to remove Zelda Wiki from NIWA. The drama and stress involved in doing so is not worth the "just because" reasoning. There are good reasons for both sides, but until something big happens, I don't think anybody is going to flinch, really.

Something big? You mean like Fandom/Wikia buying out Curse? By the way, this is the same Wikia that NIWA was started to get away from. The Zelda Wiki should've been removed from NIWA a while ago, but now it is especially necessary to do so.
