The '''Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance''', '''NIWA''' for short, is a network of wikis and their associated websites that aims to chronicle all things [[Nintendo]], supporting wikis independent of large corporate wiki groups.<br />

NIWA began as an expansion of the concept of {{bp|Encyclopaediae Pokémonis}}, shortly after the administration of [[Zelda Wiki]] contacted {{bp|Archaic}}, Bulbagarden's head, about a possible affiliation. It was jointly decided, shortly thereafter, that rather than a simple affiliation, an entire network of Nintendo-based wikis could be begun, and [[Super Mario Wiki]] was shortly asked to join as a founding member.<br />
<br />
After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, coincidentally the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]].<br />

Within two months more, preparations were complete for the launch of [[Metroid Wiki]] and [[WiKirby]], which had been spun off by users of the original trio of NIWA wikis, and they joined the group. [[Wars Wiki]], a wiki based on the age-old Nintendo Wars franchise, became the first member recruited from outside the original trio.<br />

After a period of calm, there was a sudden uprising in the world of wikis.

==Name==<br />
NIWA's name, an acronym of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, is also romanized Japanese for "garden", symbolizing the natural growth of the community around the fandoms that make it up. This is fitting, given Nintendo's Japanese origins, with romanization of Japanese being an important aspect of all sixteen wikis that currently make up the network.<br />

It was jointly decided, shortly thereafter, that rather than a simple affiliation, an entire network of Nintendo-based wikis could be begun, and [[Super Mario Wiki]] was shortly asked to join as a founding member.<br />
<br />
After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, coincidentally the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]].<br />

<br />
Within two months more, preparations were complete for the launch of [[Metroid Wiki]] and [[WiKirby]], which had been spun off by users of the original trio of NIWA wikis, and they joined the group. [[Wars Wiki]], a wiki based on the age-old Nintendo Wars franchise, became the first member recruited from outside the original trio.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Third Wave: one start up, three breakaways, and one surprise ===<br />

==Name==<br />
NIWA's name, an acronym of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, is also romanized Japanese for "garden", symbolizing the natural growth of the community around the fandoms that make it up. This is fitting, given Nintendo's Japanese origins, with romanization of Japanese being an important aspect of all six wikis that currently make up the network.<br />

:Correct, some skype discussions took place because I had the same questions. The game pages will be created as a Nintendo product, but the articles will be minor and serve as exit pages to the corresponding wiki.

<hr />
<div>The '''Nintendo Wii''' (ウィー, ''Uī'') is a [[Nintendo]] console that was released on November 19, 2006 in the United States for $249.99. It was then released in Japan on December 2, 2006, Australia on December 7, 2006, and the United Kingdom on December 8, 2006. Nintendo's console serves as the company's competition against Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. In every country except Japan, ''Wii Sports'' is included with the Wii. For ''Wii Sports'', in a conference, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] explained how when they were creating the baseball game, they originally had ''Mario'' characters rather than the Mii characters, but soon decided to change it. The Wii came with 30 titles at its launch. Before the official name was announced on April 27, it was codenamed ''Revolution''. The Wii has backwards compatibility with the [[Nintendo GameCube]], meaning GameCube games can be inserted into the disc slot and be played on the Wii.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii game discs are standard CD-sized. As more games are being released on the Wii, more games that utilize [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] have been made. This allows players to interact with other players around the world in games. The first game in the North American region to do so was ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'' on June 25, 2007.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
===[[Wii Remote]]===<br />
Wii's controller is a strange and revolutionary one, instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a nunchuck attachment, or the classic controller, which takes on a layout similar to the other consoles' main controller. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features many innovations such as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers.<br />
<br />
===Wii Menu===<br />
The console features a custom GUI made up of different-- and expandable-- [[Wii Channels1channels]], all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, including a browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console.<br />
<br />
Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out the first message, an address book confirmation message, to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world.<br />
<br />
===Backward compatibility===<br />
Wii is also backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube to GBA cables, and microphone.<br />
<br />
==System Specs==<br />
*'''Processor:''' IBM designed, codenamed Broadway.<br />
*'''Graphics:''' ATI designed, codenamed Hollywood.<br />
*'''Drive:''' Slot-loading drive uses a 12cm proprietary format, which is rumored to hold the same data as a dual-layered DVD. Also plays GameCube disks.<br />
*'''Internet:''' Wireless through 802.11b and 802.11g or by purchasing a cable adapter. "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" is the service, which only requires a wireless connection to the internet. Game downloading will also be functional, for downloading old [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], MSX, Turbografx, C64, [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], MegaDrive/Genesis or [[Nintendo 64]] games.<br />
*'''Backwards Compatibility:''' In addition to being able to play GCN games, the Wii also has a bay with 4 GCN controller ports and 2 GCN memory card slots.<br />
*'''Storage:''' In addition to the GCN memory card slots, the Wii also sports 2 flash memory slots.<br />
*'''Controllers:''' Supports up to 4 of Nintendo's new wireless "remote" style controllers. (See below)<br />
*'''I/O:''' 1 Component digital out, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 power input.<br />
*'''Design:''' Thickness is about 3 DVD cases. Has been previewed in multiple colors, as has the controllers.<br />

<hr />
<div>An '''article''' is a content page about the knowledge &ndash; a character, item, enemy, game, person, etc. The goal of the {{SITENAME}} is to add as many articles as possible to fill up the knowledge base, but some basic guidelines will help you get a good start either creating an article or expanding one. We have some specific criteria that should go into every article from its creation, and some enhancements to make it even better. Though not mentioned, all articles should have relatively good grammar.<br />
<br />
'''''Please do NOT create tiny articles just for the sake of filling in red links. Even if the article you are making is about a minor subject, try to put a decent amount of effort into it rather than a rush job.'''''<br />
<br />
==Critical Criteria==<br />
#'''Bold''' and repeat the title of the article in the first sentence.<br />
#'''Details''' &ndash; don't state the obvious. Provide some information about the subject too, as much as you can.<br />
#'''<s>You</s>''' &ndash; use another term like "the player" or the name of the playable character.<br />
#'''Link''' to as many other articles as possible once and only once.<br />
#'''Italicize''' all game titles as well as linking them.<br />
#'''Navigation''' via [[Help:Template|templates]].<br />
#'''Categorize''' with many [[Special:Categories|categories]].<br />
#'''Underline''' all book titles.<br />
<br />
===Enhancements===<br />
#'''Images''' to visualize the article.<br />
#'''Knowledge/Notice Templates'''.<br />
#'''Tables''' to lay out statistics neatly.<br />
<br />
==How to Create or Edit an Article==<br />
*'''Create:''' &ndash; Clicking on a red link brings you right to the edit box. Searching and then clicking "create this page" does the same.<br />
*'''Edit:''' &ndash; While viewing any article, click the "edit" tab, third from the left.<br />
<br />
==Naming an Article==<br />
There are several steps to follow when naming an article:<br />
<br />
*We are an English wiki, therefore, the title of an article should be the first official english name.<br />
*If there is no official English name, then the first official name of the subject in any language is used.<br />
*If there is no official name in any language, then a conjectural title is developed if the subject is notable enough for an article.<br />
*When naming an article, do '''not''' use abbreviations.<br />
*When the article is about a person, the article should be named the way the person is often refered as, for example, [[Reggie Fils-Aime]] as opposed to Reginald Fils-Aime<br />
<br />
==Step by Step: Example Article==<br />
Let's say that the article "Nintendo Wiki" was created by a user, and it was part of the knowledge base. Here's the wikitext (what appears in the editbox) of this article:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>is a wkii about the mario series. has many articles like super nes you must craete an account to edit.</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
First of all, the understood guideline "good grammar" is obviously broken. Remember that this is an encyclopedia, and we must at least look like one. Here's the same text corrected:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>It is a wiki about Nintendo. It has many articles like the console Super Nintendo Entertainment System. An account must be created in order to edit.</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
Now, we will run this article through the seven critical criteria listed above and compare the final article to this.<br />
<br />
===Bolding the Title===<br />
We start out an article by restating the title of the article, and also '''bolding it for emphasis'''. This is a simple rule to remember and easy to add. Here we replace "It" and add an "The" to keep the sentence sensible:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>The '''Nintendo Wiki''' is a wiki about Nintendo. ...</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
When the article is a game, referring to [[#Italicizing Game Titles|Step 5]], using 5 apostrophes (<tt><nowiki>'''''</nowiki></tt>) for bold and italics.<br />
<br />
===Describing the Subject===<br />
You need to add details about your topic. Here's some good starter questions: if it's a console, when was it released? What some notable games? Special characteristics? If it's a person, a small biography, relation ship to Nintendo, etc.<br />
<br />
In our example article, we have one detail: Nintendo is is one of many articles on the wiki. Here we add some more about the wiki as well as more games:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>The '''Nintendo Wiki''' is a wiki about Nintendo and its various series, such as Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, etc. It has many articles, such as Nintendo 64, Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and much more. The wiki si just starting and it is a project made by the NIWA, which is formed by the Super Mario Wiki, ZeldaWiki and Bulbapedia. The wiki was created on May 12th, 2010 by Archaic, Bulbapedia's webmster.</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
Your details depend on the type of article you're creating. Think of the basics - a person who never heard about the article subject would need to get a fair idea what it is.<br />
<br />
If you don't have any details to add, "don't state the obvious" by not creating the article at all &ndash; you don't know the topic well-enough. If you know a couple of details to make up 3-5 sentences, create the article but add {{tem|stub}} as part of [[#Navigation Templates|Step 6]].<br />
<br />
===No You's===<br />
In this wiki, we opt against using the tempting word "you". This includes implied "you's" in a command (like just above: "(you) Think of the basics..."). Instead, we use phrases such as "the player", "a playable character should", "the racer could", "they must", etc. that still describes the person being talked to, indirectly or refers to the character they play in the game. This makes our articles more encyclopedic.<br />
<br />
Our example article fixes up the "you" in the last sentence:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>... A person must create an account to edit or create new articles.</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
===Linking, Linking, Linking!===<br />
[[Help:Link|Link]]ing to as many articles as possible, ''created or not'', adds greater navigation to the knowledge base. Created articles allow readers to move to a related topic, while red links (not created) give another user a chance to create the article (and go through these very same steps!), thus helping the wiki. However, no one link should appear twice in an article &ndash; leave other occurrences as plain text.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, removing red links may seem as it is good for the wiki, because it makes it look better, but that actually does more harm than good. By removing red links you are reducing the chances of that article being created. Of course, if the links are unnecessary, or the article being linked to was deleted, then it's fine to remove them.<br />
<br />
An example of how our article would look like:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>The '''Nintendo Wiki''' is a wiki about [[Nintendo]] and its various series, such as [[Mario]], [[Zelda]], [[Pokémon]], etc. It has many articles, such as [[Nintendo 64]], [[Satoru Iwata]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and much more. The wiki si just starting and it is a project made by the [[NIWA]], which is formed by the [[Super Mario Wiki]], [[ZeldaWiki]] and [[Bulbapedia]]. The wiki was created on May 12th, 2010 by [[Archaic]], Bulbapedia's webmster.</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
Note how even though Bulbapedia is mentioned twice in the article, only the first time is put as a link.<br />
<br />
===Italicizing Titles===<br />
The wiki has decided it proper to respect ''all'' games, series, movies, television programs, albums (music) and publications (print: comics, books and magazines) by italicizing ''all'' of their titles, as well as linking them when need be the case in every article. When linking and italicizing, the syntax is <tt><nowiki>''[[Article Title]]''</nowiki></tt>. Song titles and episode names (i.e. of television series) are not italicized, but written in quotation marks.<br />
<br />
As our Nintendo Wiki article gets better, we get to italizice the game title in the article. If said game appeared twice in the article, we would link ''and'' italicize the first time, and ''only'' italicize the second time.<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>The '''Nintendo Wiki''' is a wiki about [[Nintendo]] and its various series, such as [[Mario]], [[Zelda]], [[Pokémon]], etc. It has many articles, such as [[Nintendo 64]], [[Satoru Iwata]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and much more. The wiki si just starting and it is a project made by the [[NIWA]], which is formed by the [[Super Mario Wiki]], [[ZeldaWiki]] and [[Bulbapedia]]. The wiki was created on May 12th, 2010 by [[Archaic]], Bulbapedia's webmster.</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
===Navigation Templates===<br />
[[:Category:Navigation Templates|Navigation templates]] list a bunch of related link to the article. Sometimes an article is already on one of these templates in red, waiting to be added, sometimes you will have to edit the template to include it. Sometimes there is no navigation template yet for your type of article .<br />
<br />
Let's say that a template called <nowiki>{{gamingwikis}}</nowiki> was a navigational template listing all wikis related to video games. So:<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>...The wiki is just starting and it is a project made by the [[NIWA]], which is formed by the [[Super Mario Wiki]], [[ZeldaWiki]] and [[Bulbapedia]]. The wiki was created on May 12th, 2010 by [[Archaic]], Bulbapedia's webmster.</nowiki></span><br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>{{gamingwikis}}</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
===Categories===<br />
There are a ton of categories and subcategories on this wiki. The most basic are [[:Category:Consoles|Consoles]], [[:Category:Games|Games]], [[:Category:Characters|Characters]], [[:Category:Persons|Persons]] and [[:Category:Companies|Companies]]. There are many subcategories to these categories as well. By simply typing <tt><nowiki>[[Category:(Fullname)]]</nowiki></tt>, the article is automatically added to the category; '''be sure to not include a space between "Category:" and the name'''. An article can be in as many categories as it fits, but as part of our criteria it must fit in one. Don't say an article cannot be categorized &ndash; very few pages, if any, are [[Special:Uncategorizedpages|uncategorized]] besides the Main Page, an exception.<br />
<br />
Let's say we have some categories such as Wikis, Projects and NIWA, our article would looks like this<br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>...The wiki is just starting and it is a project made by the [[NIWA]], which is formed by the [[Super Mario Wiki]], [[ZeldaWiki]] and [[Bulbapedia]]. The wiki was created on May 12th, 2010 by [[Archaic]], Bulbapedia's webmster.</nowiki></span><br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>{{gamingwikis}}</nowiki></span><br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>[[Category:NIWA]]</nowiki></span><br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>[[Category:Wikis]]</nowiki></span><br />
:<span style="color:#777;font-family:Courier New;font-size:13px"><nowiki>[[Category:Projects]]</nowiki></span><br />
<br />
Note that categories and templates often overlap in subject matter. This is perfectly fine, however templates are expected to provide enhanced navigation assets for readers (i.e. subdividing a large group of related pages by more specific criteria, such as characters vs. items appearing in the same game). If a category or a group of categories adequately links a group of pages, a template may not be needed at all.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
''Congratulations! The article ''"Nintendo Wiki"'', with the text''<br />

''would be an '''acceptable article''' on the Nintendo Wiki.<br />
<br />
Any article lacking in one of the seven criteria can and should be edited to correct its faults. This works not just for creating articles, but expanding and improving them too! The following sections deal with specific aspects of writing and additional features that can be added to the articles.<br />
<br />
===Useful Coding==<br />
There is some basic coding that you should know how to use on an article:<br />
*<nowiki>'''Three apostrophes'''</nowiki> make '''bold''' text.<br />
*<nowiki>''Two apostrophes'''</nowiki> make ''italicized'' text.<br />
*<nowiki><s>These tags</s></nowiki> make <s>striked</s> text.<br />
*<nowiki><u>These tags</u></nowiki> make <u>underlined</u> text.<br />
*Asterisks in the beggining of the line make a list (such as this one). Add more asterisks to set the levels.<br />
*<nowiki>#</nowiki>s make a numbered list.<br />
*<nowiki>[[2 Brackets]]</nowiki> make [[Main Page|links]].<br />
*<nowiki>[1 Bracket]</nowiki> makes an external link. Format: <nowiki>[URL Link title]</nowiki>.<br />
*HTML coding can be used in the wiki.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Shigeru Miyamoto''' ('''宮本茂''', born November 16, 1952) is a world-famous video game designer and creator, known as the man behind two of [[Nintendo]]'s most well-known franchises, ''{{smw|Mario (series)|Super Mario}}'', ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'', ''[[Star Fox]]'', ''[[Pikmin]]'' and ''[[F-Zero]]''. His titles are characterized by sophisticated control-mechanics and interactive worlds in which the player is encouraged to uncover things for themselves.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In his early childhood, he was raised in the small, rural town of Sonobe, Japan; which was near his current home of Kyoto, about ten blocks from [[Nintendo]] headquarters. His home lacked a television, so he would spend a large amount of his time exploring the surrounding countryside. One time, he discovered a large series of caves. He returned with a lantern and spent the summer spelunking.<br />
<br />
Miyamoto wanted to make things that would astonish the world. He considered becoming a puppeteer, a painter, and later made toys. He decided to study industrial design at Kanazawa Munici College of Industrial Arts and Crafts in 1970. He only attended class half the time, so it took him five years to graduate. <br />
<br />
Miyamoto was 24, and had shaggy hair when he had his father contacted an old toy company friend, named Hiroshi Yamauchi. The company's name was Nintendo. Yamauchi requested to see some toy designs, to which Miyamoto responded to by returning with a bag of goodies, and an amazing portfolio. Miyamoto became Nintendo's first staff artist in 1977.<br />
<br />
===Nintendo===<br />
Employed by [[Nintendo]] (then a toy company) as an artist, in 1980 he was given the task of designing their second arcade video-game after their first one, ''Radar Scope'', which was a horrible failure in America. Yamauchi called Miyamoto into his office, as he was the only staff member available at the time. He questioned Miyamoto about his knowledge on this new concept. After some licenses fell through, the resulting arcade game, ''Donkey Kong,'' was a colossal success and the game's lead character, Mario (then known only as "Jumpman"), has become Nintendo's mascot. Miyamoto rapidly became Nintendo's star producer and built a large stable of franchises for the company, most of which are still active and very well-regarded.<br />
<br />
At odds with customary industry practices, Miyamoto showed unwillingness to repeat existing titles and would rarely create a sequel without significantly evolving the game into an innovative experience. He is still considered one of the greatest minds and creators of our time. He continues to live and work in Japan.<br />

<div>I suggest we add the NIWA page to the sidebar (as in niwanetwork.org) so that we can have easy access. It would also provide readers an easy means of navigation around the site. I think Bulbapedia does that with their sidebar by making something like Mediawiki:Gatewayurl and Mediawiki:Gateway and then adding Gatewayurl|Gateway to the sidebar. However, on WiKirby, we've found it possible to put the URL followed by a pipe and text. It should still work.{{:User:Neo/sig}} 16:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
:I support that idea. Perhaps also a link to the forums and other wikis? I don't know how it is coded in this wiki, in the MW it's MediaWiki:Sidebar or MediaWiki:Sidebar2 and the coding would be:<br />

<div>'''To Do'''<br />
Choose your own assignment and see it to completion. Take up only one task at a time, place your sig beside the task you want, and strike through the task upon completion. After an administrator verifies it's completion the task will be moved to the last section of the page- and deleted when this setup hub is no longer needed.<br />

==Completed Tasks==<br />
Only Administrators may change this portion, after verifying a task's completion and making any final touches. Administrators will sign their name and "''verified by...''".<br />

<div>Hm... For the section that only Administrators can edit, why not split that off on to a template and protect that page? You don't run the risk of perhaps missing a change that a user can make, and it will keep users out of trouble as they cannot edit the list and stuff.

I think that for the user pages we should do it together, because our wikis userspace policies differ. --{{SUBST:nosubst|User:Tucayo/sig}} 18:41, 15 May 2010 (UTC)</div>Tucayohttps://www.niwanetwork.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Tucayo/sig&diff=5User:Tucayo/sig2010-05-13T17:06:39Z<p>Tucayo: :D</p>
