Hey, let's jump on the bandwagon.

Wars Wiki was founded in February of last year, and is growing again after many months of inactivity. Unlike the other two wikis joining NIWA, Wars Wiki was not created by members of other NIWA wikis. Rather, It was launched by members of Wars Central in an effort to diversify the site, which houses fora and a rather small community. We hope we can continue to grow and aid NIWA in its effort to contain all Nintendo franchises.

Thanks to Tucayo for his sporadic editing and to Axiomist for informing us of NIWA and helping with templates.

Well, scratch what i said about Ace Attorney, stupid IPhone ports.


What would be NIWA's stance on Ace Attorney if all of the Non-Nintendo appearances of the series have all been ports?

I know I would contribute, I love Ace Attorney. But anyway, it is owned by Capcom and being ported to iPhone (though they aren't actually making a new game for it, true), so I think it would be ineligible.

OH. What about the Sin and Punishment series?

What is "the Sin and Punishment series"?

I suppose it could be a series because of the soon-to-be-released sequel. I don't think ths would merit an entire wiki, however.

This gives me an idea, though: should we make a kind of central wiki that covers miscellaneous games such as Sin and Punishment?

I believe that is in discussion with the NIWA Staff.

Mother is getting a Wiki, and that has 3 games. (And an INCREDIBLY popular fan translation.) :|

Mother has three games (one of which was released internationally almost 20 years ago) and a major presence in Smash. EarthBound being the cult classic that it is, combined with new fans brought in by Smash, creates a community that is large enough for a wiki. Sin and Punishment has two games, only the second of which will be released internationally in the generation it was made in. Though I haven't played Sin and Punishment, I would say that unless it has some crazy amount of depth (like The World Ends With You, which has it's own wiki) it just isn't large enough for a wiki.

 Whoops  .
Edited the post.

I don't understand what you're asking.

At WarsWiki? The main page is here.

You are totally right, you have my support. I will get to your wiki

Thank you so much!

No prob Tomorrow I'll check the wiki to see where it needs help, will improve some articles, etc

Great! Thank you!

So you will make steps to make WarsWiki a part of NIWA? Or am I misinterpreting your post?

By the way, I PMed the admin (JoJo) of Wars Central about NIWA after I posted here.  So the brass on our side is aware of this.

I will

Thank you then.

are the problems more content-related or wiki-related?

The reason i am asking, is I've only played one Advance Wars game, but i run many wikis. So, i would like to help, but i am afraid i wouldn't be able to contribute much. 

Mostly content, the wiki runs fine in my experience editing and viewing.

Hello, I am member and contributor of WarsWiki, here to ask you to reconsider your rejection of our wiki.

I am not here to boast about our article count, nor do I believe that we have a wiki that is large by any means. I am not here to claim that we have an active community of editors; we literally have 2 active editors (of which I am one), neither of which have much time to contribute. I will not pretend that the community around our wiki regularly helps and contributes to our project; as our admin Jojo said, "God knows this site hasn't been about Advance Wars for a long time." I know why we were rejected; we are simply too small for your standards. But that is why we need an alliance like NIWA; without one, we will not grow enough to meet your standards. I am not kidding when I say that we would not meet a benchmark like 200 articles until around the end of this summer. Though our active community is very small, I am sure some of the Wars Central forum-goers will take interest in the project if the wiki really gets going. And I feel that WarsWiki could truly benefit from not only editors but coders on the other wikis in NIWA.

This alliance was created to provide knowledge about Nintendo's various series and to provide this knowledge on websites that are independent from any wiki conglomerate such as Wikia. But, as the lists in this thread show, only a few series have quality wikis that are also independent. It has been stated that NIWA is interested in accepting other wikis into the alliance; however, I believe that you all must realize that many wikis exist for Nintendo series that are simply underdeveloped and understaffed. WarsWiki is one of these wikis, and we need NIWA. Please accept our request.
