NIWA Discussion / Re: StrategyWiki and Dragon Quest Wiki
« on: November 10, 2012, 03:58:26 PM »
Having separate tiers of membership has been mentioned in the past, and been roundly defeated every time. As I see it, they should either be full members of NIWA, or not at all. StrategyWiki don't cover any single franchise, they cover walkthroughs for all commercial video games. When they were voted into NIWA, it was felt that the benefits of having them as a full member far outweighed the negatives. As for Dragon Quest Wiki, obviously they have less of a connection to Nintendo than the other members, but the majority of our staff felt that it was strong enough to merit membership (e.g. some DQ games were published by Nintendo in some regions).
Pikmin Fanon, like Dillion said, are no less a full member than anyone else. They cover a legitimate part of the Pikmin fandom not covered by Pikipedia. Similarly, if a decent-quality Mario or Zelda fanon wiki wanted to join, they'd be entitled to full membership as well. So separate classes of membership isn't the way to go for me.
Wikipedia is just too big. There's too much overlap - they'd end up killing off a lot of our smaller wikis.
