Some of you will be aware that when we updated Media Wiki at Metroid Wiki about a month ago, we unfortunately lost our skin, and have been left with a very hideous looking wiki since - as you can see.

So we need someone's help in designing and implementing a new skin for us. We were waiting upon Steve, but we simply can't wait any longer. If there is anyone interested please let us know. Only real limit to your creativity is that is needs to adhere to our purple and green color scheme. Our staff also have a number of ideas they'd like to see.

Before a new skin, our first priority is simply a tidying up of the current mess. So fixing up the spaced-out tabs, and the white sidebar and footer. If someone could quickly help us fix them that would be appreciated. Then we are seeking a new skin design.

So is anyone interested in helping?

Today (January 27th) is Metroid Wiki's first birthday - one year since it came online. Let the community celebrations begin. It's great to be a part of NIWA!

So, how are we going after one year? Here are the stats:

+768 Articles
+4297 pages
+1396 Pictures
+22,617 edits
+299 Users
+17 Active Users
+7 Staff Members
+1,100,720 views (50 per edit)
+Top pages are 1-Main Page, 2-Other M, 3-Samus Aran

So what now? There's still a long way to go as always. Stubs, improvements, wanted pages - you name it. What we need most is users - whether you have a little or lots of time to offer. Whoever you are, you can help!

We're currently looking to hire new staff for the vacant positions of Graphics Editing and Public Relations/Marketing. Apply Here.

We're also getting into voting on featured content - pictures and articles.

Hey everyone. With Other M now released in North America and now almost here for everyone else, we're (Metroid Wiki) trying to really capitalize on the hype that will bring and get viewers, editors and so forth. So if everyone could give us a bit of a push across their own sites, forums and wikis when it comes to Other M that would be appreciated.

Thanks

An article of mine... have a read/share/comment/discuss etc:

So guys, thought I'd just give NIWA an update from Metroid Wiki. We're nearing 6 months online now, and a few days ago we passed the 400 article mark - however many of them are just stubs and there are many more articles yet to be created.

We've got a great staff team these days, but don't have terribly many editors. We have a few dedicated members and many occasional editors, so if you know anything about Metroid and want to contribute please head on over, create an account and start editing. Whether you know a little or lots and whether you can contribute a little or lots, your efforts are appreciated.

It is through the efforts of all of you people that MW will be able to become the definitive online source for Metroid.

Thanks goes to Tappy for our new skin - it still has some changes to be made. Report any problems or suggestions here.

The place for new members to introduce themselves, and for existing members to welcome them.

So we've got the new website. We've got all of the new members incorporated. What next? Time to work on the forums: including skinning and board organization.

Have any ideas or suggestions? Any new boards you want? Any features you might like? Well then, please, go nuts.
