Hahahaaaa. Best of both worlds!

It's a type of garden with mostly special rocks over plants.

We already have Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing wikis in the pipeline, see Affiliates. As for the others, I've heard plans for them, but nothing concrete that I know of.

I am interesting in stating a golden sun wiki, but can't do it at the moment.

And i think Turtwig A (who is not a member of the forums, but a memeber of many of NIWA's wikis) wants to start a Chibi Robot wiki.

I don't see why NIWA can't accept non-Nintendo wikis and still keep the name NIWA. 7-Eleven keeps its name even though most of them are now open 24 hours; 20th Century Fox never renamed itself to 21st Century Fox; and KFC is still known as KFC despite now being available outside of Kentucky. Those are just some of many, many examples. A change in a company's - or organization's - direction rarely leads to a name change.

We want a larger network, but we can't be the ones to create and maintain it all. PC Game Wikis, Xbox Game Wikis, PS Game Wikis, etc should unite on their own terms. Shape their organization and NIWA will be a sibling group to that.

I'm not a fan of minomers. If we have Nintendo in the name, then we should be nintendo focused.

I fully understand that NIWA is not aiming to be an all-inclusive wiki network at this time. I'm not saying it should be or it shouldn't be in the future; I have no firm opinion regarding that.

I'm just saying that no one should take a position on this matter based solely on the name of this organization.

The larger a wiki organisation is, the less that could actually be done within that organisation without things turning into a Wikia and getting oppressive with requirements, etc. Personally, I'm of the opinion that if we were to ever expand beyond Nintendo, it wouldn't be under the NIWA banner. NIWA would remain in existence, as a separate group, and NIWA members wouldn't be obliged to join whatever larger umbrella organisation was set up. In the best case scenario I think, all we'd do would be to get together with whatever other groups set themselves up (there's already one for Sega games) and have something like a roundtable, with representatives of each.

i am still working on the name, but i want to eventually help form the "United Wikis of Fiction", where each wiki group is allowed representation & membership, and each group is defined by 1) a united idea that brings together multiple wikis  AND/OR 2) the same language. So, for example:

* NIWA would be a member because it (at the moment) has english-only, Nintendo-focused wikis.
* Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis would be a member since it is multiple languages, but all focused on Pokémon.


Of course, this would also mean we would need a Spanish-focused NIWA, and an inter-language Zelda Association (with the primary language being "Hyrulean").

What's this Sega game network?

Their should be a countdown for the new donkey kong game coming out and it should probably be posted in the Mario wiki!

I love clicking on the countdowns every day and seeing them go down  :laugh:
