Just as a quick disclaimer there....that's a draft, it might not be the final version of the manifesto. ^^;
Answered my question just fine though  :D

Where did that come from? Archaic, since it looks like you wrote that up, i wonder if you might repost it as a separate thread and sticky it, that way people can both find it quickly and discuss it.
It came from one of the staff boards. And as he said, it'll get its own thread once finalized.

It will have a page in the hub AND the thread, right? I hope we are not linking to the board from the hub, not that I dont want to, just that I think it should have its own page in the hub.  :police:

Per. I think that it will be too... Disorganized, if you will, to do that.

It would, and it would be having two links from the hub to the forums, so it's own separate page will probably be for the best.

Can you make it so that animated gifs will work as avatars?

I just hatched an idea!

I was thinking of having some members be an "NIWA Operative", which they are free to join.  These members support the NIWA by helping every wiki under the NIWA name.  Instead of only editing a Kirby or Zelda wiki, they edit every NIWA wiki which needs support.  Not only will the NIWA grow as a result, but we will meet new people, and be more of a community than mostly-seperate wikis. 

Just putting it out there....

I was thinking of having some members be an "Inner NIWA Operative", which they are free to join.  These members support the NIWA by helping every wiki under the NIWA name.  Instead of only editing a Kirby or Zelda wiki, they edit every NIWA wiki which needs support.  Not only will the NIWA grow as a result, but we will meet new people, and be more of a community than mostly-seperate wikis.

This would be good for both the "partial NIWA members" that need growth and the new wikis we create for series such as Smash.

So far I have registered and/or edited at Zelda Wiki, WiKirby, Bulbapedia, and Lylat Wiki (not under the NIWA yet.)  I plan to register at the Super Meriod wiki, and any other wiki if they join the NIWA. 

I hope I won't be the only person editing for several different wikis (I know some of you edit at at least two).  I can see the NIWA grow threefold+ if more people join to be an "operative."

Please be advised that it doesn't have a skin yet, and has just started out. :P

About the global unification thing, there should be some way to make it optional. Also, the link thing mentioned doesn't log you in, it's just a quick link to the other page.

Also, since all these wikis are together, maybe a layout/template/style similarity would be good? Style first, though.

And NOT Wi**a style. (yes, I bleeped the w-word out.)

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I still feel that we aren't quite a community yet.  Yes, there is plenty of room to add more wikis/members, but quantity isn't the answer here.  I don't know what needs to happen, but we could be more of a unit.

Also, I was thinking of, [perhaps] making a help center thread in a "Wiki Reference" section or sorts.  It would be a place where new editors ask the general wiki questions and ask for help from expirenced wiki editors.  Yes, I know wikis have thier own "Help" pages, but this would be more one-on-one, and address problems the wiki(s) couldn't answer.  [I don't know, just throwing it out there.]  {Also, this could be changed to address other things.}
