==== Statement ====<br />
I'll try to keep this short. While I do have a lot of responsibility elsewhere in NIWA (I'm working as an admin on Nookipedia), I do feel there is interest to help bring this wiki back to life.<br />
<br />
What I mean is that, people have been wanting to build and create a community around Nintendo games, and I do want to change a lot around, such as changing the reviewing edits part to only IP addresses, and encouraging more registration by allowing accounts to be created, albeit with a real email address. This could also be a good opportunity to begin to encourage linking from other NIWA wikis and affiliate and to also seek out affiliate when needed.<br />
<br />
There's a lot to untangle here, but while I doubt it can work to help bring this community afloat, it could help create a community around Nintendo games.<br />
==== Support ====<br />
#<s>There's no one else to vote for... :p</s> My vote definitively falls on yes if PanchamBro is eager to help the wiki get on feet. Hopefully we learn some new things and improve on current ones. --[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 03:13, 1 June 2021 (UTC)<br />

[https://niwanetwork.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Toa_95 User:Toa 95] (a [[Super Mario Wiki]] veteran/former admin, and admin rights on NintendoWiki already) makes good, often detailed edits. They have the occasional hiatus, which is why their presence is not apparent right now except for an expansion on [[Super Mario 64]] (other edits circa last month) following [[Ukikipedia]] (and not just the 'more detailed wiki exists' template). On the other hand, those hiatus could potentially cause an issue, (note bureacrat {{smw|User:Glowsquid}} made a temporary demotion for this reason), but I have faith in him and NintendoWiki is smaller. - Unsigned comment by [[User:Torchickens]]<br />

The '''Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance''', '''NIWA''' for short, is a network of wikis and their associated websites that aims to chronicle all things [[Nintendo]], supporting wikis independent of large corporate wiki groups.<br />
<br />

<br />
NIWA began as an expansion of the concept of {{bp|Encyclopaediae Pokémonis}}, shortly after the administration of [[Zelda Wiki]] contacted {{bp|Archaic}}, Bulbagarden's head, about a possible affiliation. It was jointly decided, shortly thereafter, that rather than a simple affiliation, an entire network of Nintendo-based wikis could be begun, and [[Super Mario Wiki]] was shortly asked to join as a founding member.<br />
<br />
After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, coincidentally the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]].<br />

Within two months more, preparations were complete for the launch of [[Metroid Wiki]] and [[WiKirby]], which had been spun off by users of the original trio of NIWA wikis, and they joined the group. [[Wars Wiki]], a wiki based on the age-old Nintendo Wars franchise, became the first member recruited from outside the original trio.<br />

NIWA's name, an acronym of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, is also romanized Japanese for "garden", symbolizing the natural growth of the community around the fandoms that make it up. This is fitting, given Nintendo's Japanese origins, with romanization of Japanese being an important aspect of all sixteen wikis that currently make up the network.<br />
