Made Wiki because I can't find another one out there.
Need info and editors, and think the perfect way to do this is to join NIWA.

Yes, ANOTHER Wikia wiki :P
Basically loads of articles made....
No info in them >:(
Like I said, need editors, think NIWA would like a GaW wiki, and I'd be prepared to head it and lead it.
If you want to email me, it's:

Thanks,
Chao-der!

Well, first point is, it's on Wikia. That means it's not independent, which unfortunately means that for now, we can't accept your wiki. Do you have any active plans to move off Wikia? If you do, we can help you become independent.

Damn. Is there any simple way to move to another Wiki Site, keeping all Pages and Content? Or even better, directly to NIWA's Servers?

You would need to look around the forums to see who is offering.

Where'd I look?

Use this tool (http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?action=search) to find posts. I believe they are out there and you should be able to find them with the right search terms. Also, in searching it will help you become familiar with how we do things around here, and increase the likelihood of someone making an offer to you.

Even if your wiki were independent, it doesn't appear to be ready for membership into NIWA. It only has fifty or so articles, and four of the six articles I looked at were just blank pages with a title at the top. The other two articles were only a paragraph or so.

I would advise staying on Wikia or just cutting your losses and moving over to ShoutWiki or Wikii and building your Wiki up there before you try to spend a lot of money going independent. Wiki farms aren't inherently bad in what they can do, but they are not viable options for NIWA Wikis. Wikia is probably the last nurturing and the most stifling, and you'll have the hardest time moving away from them.
Of course, if you want to become independent, we can help you, and will also do our best to nurture your Wiki along the way.

It seems that little progress has been made. Did you move the wiki to another host?
