NIWA	Member since October 29th, 2010 (Third Wave) Still has membership Representative focusing on Super Smash Bros.

SmashWiki is an NIWA member wiki focusing on Super Smash Bros., a series of fighting games notable for featuring characters, locations, and items from Nintendo's various franchises.

In addition to extensively covering the games, their contents, and game mechanics, the wiki also covers community aspects such as tournaments, players, and rankings, as well as detailed coverage on the origins of the characters, locations, and other contents.

History

Two wikis for the Super Smash Bros. series originally existed. The first of these was SmashWiki, founded by the user Gideon in July 2006, officially launched in March 2007, and hosted by SmashBoards (at the time known as the Smash World Forums). The second was Super Smash Bros. Wiki, a Wikia wiki founded by Alexir55 in April 2007. On February 29, 2008, the SmashBoards wiki merged into the Wikia wiki, which was renamed to SmashWiki. During this time, the wiki experienced levels of growth, with the promotion of Miles.oppenheimer, Toomai, Omega Tyrant, and Pikamander2.

In September 2010, a significant number of users, dissatisfied with Wikia's policies and in the midst of a imminent skin, would leave the wiki to create a new independently hosted wiki under the SmashWiki name. Many staff opted to move to the new SmashWiki as a result. SmashWiki officially joined NIWA in October 2010 as its eleventh member. The Wikia wiki would remain in operation under the new name SmashWikia until August 2013, when the wiki was disconnected from SmashWiki and had its name changed to Smashpedia in September 2013.
