I'm quite surprised this hasn't shown up, but I can see why it hasn't just yet.
F-Zero is actually quite a dead series these days and we haven't got a new game of it in ages.
Not to mention, not many people actually know about it as a series. Through Smash Bros., the only thing people largely recognize out of it are Captain Falcon and his Falcon Punch, nothing more. This has caused people to shun the F-Zero series in favor of only Falcon and completely forget about where this series really shone.
Nevertheless, should we bring forth an F-Zero Wiki onto NIWA, to do this depressingly died-out franchise some justice? At least if there are any F-Zero (read: NOT Captain Falcon) fans around here.
-
We should generally avoid creating our own wikis of series, but it can be done. If no major F-Zero fan communities exist and the Wikia one (http://fzero.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) doesn't want to move, maybe we could.
-
You might want to take a look at this (http://fzero.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Leaving_Wikia_Related_Discussions).
I believe Tacopill, Moydow and Level 3 are working on it as we speak.

Indeed we are :) We'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. At the moment we're looking for hosting, which has been hard to get financially, but we're working on it.
-
I can't provide hosting, but if you guys need helping buying a domain name, I can do that for you.
-
I sent Moydow a message some time ago in skype. If WiKirby's new VPS plan allows it, I may be able to share space with them. But Archaic is willing to host at least another wiki, afaik.

Both of those would be cool.

Yeah, I can take several more wiki's. The only concern right now is that my tech has been mostly absent, so any wikis would have to go on a niwanetwork.org sub-domain for starters, until I was able to catch him and get a full domain account setup for it.

As in what happened with Nintendo Wiki?
That sounds good.

currently, Nintendo wiki is in a sub-directory (with a slash /wiki) not a subdomain (wiki.niwanetwork.org)
-
Which is only because our tech seems to be on an unannounced holiday or something. That'll be fixed up as soon as I can catch him.

sounds good. I was simply trying to be informative.

My bad. This is the correct link (http://fzero.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Leaving_Wikia_Related_Discussions). Thanks for pointing it out.

Lord Ferrok, are you looking to become an Editor of F-Zero Wiki?

Sure, I'm not good with tech stuff, but if it's just editing I should be able to do it.
-
Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of movement with regards to F-Zero. However, I suspect that's because they're waiting on hosting.

The NIWA should have a F-Zero wiki it's about the only thing misssing
-
Just as long as it doesn't have the only two articles as Captain Falcon and Falcon Punch.
-
This may be coming sooner rather than later... Watch this space! ;)
-
That's true, something may happen sooner than expected!

Thanks guys, you inspired me to do this thread (http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=709)

If F-Zero Wiki does launch on here, then I hope it gets more people aware of F-Zero as a series.
95% of the people who love Captain Falcon don't even know anything about F-Zero.

I will agree with this. :)
-
And for us 5% who hate Captain Falcon...
-
That 5% not only know about F-Zero, but actually know who the REAL Captain Falcon is.

Chuck Norris?

Everything is progressing well enough on our end, so we'll be ready soon.
