We have discussed, as a staff, these possibilities. I've never been opposed to allowing mostly-Nintendo Wikis from joining, but there are some purists among us who are opposed. It's something we have to all decide - are we Hardline Nintendo-only, or not? Are we moving to eventually become "IWA" to be all-inclusive? These are important things to decide.

i'm not trying to be purest, i am just not a fan of misnomers. If we are NIWA, then we should focus on Nintendo-wikis.

If we choose to open up to all wiki's (which i am totally for, btw) then we should change our name to reflect that.

What I meant was the rejection of Wikis such as Fantendo and Rare Witch Project.

Ah. I am not familiar with such events happening.

I'm personally of the opinion that NIWA is NIWA. Rather than expanding NIWA to become all inclusive, I'd rather make an umbrella organisation for more general things, with NIWA being one of several "cells" of wiki groups under that umbrella organisation.

Actually i agree with that. It is why i want to start a Final Fantasy one sometime in Mid - late 2011 (once i have money).

so a Nintendo group or wikis, and a Square Enix group of wikis, and so forth?

As I've said before, I think that's silly. It's overcomplicated and it's honestly dreaming bigger than we are, or even have close to the capability of achieving. Let's be NIWA first, before we start talking about what we'll be after that. We've hardly begun on being NIWA.

of course. No one said these are short term goals, or even long term ones.  They are merely suggestions. (Except the FF Alignment. i actually want to do that).

Well, I actually wanted to do the Mega Man Wiki or Sonic Wiki to be honest.

P.S. I am the one called Fassad in that conversation in case you didn't know.

I could help you with either of those topics, or both. I just have to make sure i renew my web account, or pick up a new one, by the 28th of December. That is when my contract expires.

Also, changing name from NIWA to IWA is not that easy, seeing as NIWA has a meaning, it emans garden, the letter behind it mean garden, and we are like a Wiki Garden

IWA would mean we ROCK, though!

...Get it? Because... iwa means rock in Japanese...? 8D

There's also always changing the N to something else. Can't really think of anything, though.

Even though IWA means rock,we are still a garden of Wikis. We DO rock,but still,NIWA makes more sense since IWA would be based on our opinions. And this may be off topic,but I think we really need an Animal Crossing Wiki in NIWA. Seriously...we don't need more Pikmin Wikis. Two is enough  >:( but anyways,I think we shouldn't allow any non-Nintendo wikis into the group. A Perfect Dark Wiki is OK,even though I never played the game before,but it's published by Nintendo. Any Wikis on games worked on by Nintendo is fine in my opinion.And we REALLY need an Animal Crossing Wiki! :eekdance:

Uhh...what?!

Did you know that one of them is canon (real) and the other is fanon (fake/where users make up their own ideas for Pikmin games)? If not, now you know that they are TWO Pikmin wikis, but NOT entirely the same. ;)
