Crud crud! Sorry for my lateness and lack of work here recently, but family, work and such have kept me quite busy so I can only devote myself to one wiki at a time! The Forgotten Beast reporting in on behalf of Starfy Wiki and Kid Icarus. Starfy Wiki is pretty solid on info although our user traffic is not very high and we keep getting a high degree of spam accounts...  Kid Icarus Wiki is doing very well but it is also falling victim to many spam accounts, so I ask is there a way to increase our security?

Indeed, something called Assira has been discussed above, and also on Skyworld.

How do we go about installing it?

They probably though Mermaid would be to weird and gender confusing, and the cockroach doesnt seem to be making Starfy happy and probably involved some gross or useless ability to make levels seem harder, as for frog I wonder why? It looks promising...

As far as I'm concerned, there are no Kid Icarus projects in the works. Ahmlink was working on one, but he didn't get beyond the main page. Mine was scrapped, but I'll gladly share any content that I have saved (it had about 100 articles about half of which were stubs). It's been especially hard to attract a fanbase though with the numerous delays on Kid Icarus 3DS's release.

Maybe once the game is released we could try and convince NIWA to re-approve the Kid Icarus wiki idea?

[not a part of NIWA]

Personally, I've lost interest after my wiki idea was shot down (it was Kid Icarus by the way- not a part of NIWA, I should probably be clear on that). I think of myself as a fan of the series, but any work on a wiki is discouraging when there is little to no help available. My guess is many others felt the same way. It was December 2010/January 2011 when NIWA prohibited talks of a "minor-league" affiliate system thereby cutting off a stream of editors for potential member wikis. Coincidentally (or maybe it's not a coincidence at all), the number of posts has decreased every month since then. Due to the "behind-the-scenes" nature of a wiki alliance, these forums only attract traffic when there is growth; unfortunately, NIWA has chosen to stagnate in the past 9 months. Of course, the actual wikis are doing better than ever, so I suppose it worked out well in a way.

P.S. To reinforce unity, I suggest merging all the sub-boards under Nintendo Gaming. They cater to the same audiences and the discussions are very similar. There's no need to fragment an already waning community. I've suggested this before, but it must have been ignored (or rejected).

That's rough... <:/ But have their been any talks on anymore attempts at trying to add a Kid Icarus wiki? I'd be more than happy to aid in such a project!

Personal stuff got in the way of me working here a while back I admit, but I've been done with that for months and have been working diligently on the wikis I oversee. Also at times when I try to come into the forums, an error screen appears like "Faq error" and whatnot, that could be the reason for the low traffic here on the forums (or maybe that's just me), we also have a low number of users on some of the wikis like F-Zero Wiki, DK wiki and Starfy Wiki and like its been said we need more advertisement for NIWA and maybe update the forums and make them more modern, I'm not sure in what way but NIWA's always managed to pull through in the past.

Hello, I am The Forgotten Beast, one of the administrators of Donkey Kong Wiki. Despite the wiki being a new addition to NIWA I've been a long time user on Mario Wiki even before NIWA was formed. I was also a long time member on Wikia and an administrator on numerous wikis prior to their skin change. When I first came across Donkey Kong Wiki it was neglected and apparently abandoned by its founder and I proceeded to work on it and improve its state, and despite some trouble that was had over time, the wiki was still able to pull through thanks to its devoted staff consisting of myself, HavocReaper48, Megatron1, Carulosu and OmegaTyrant who are all still working hard and making sure that the wiki becomes a proud source of DK info.

Anyway I am a huge Nintendo fan with a large collection of great Nintendo games and numerous collectible memorabilia ranging from Goombas to Pokémon... and a 9-inch tall Samus statue...

I might have said Diddy Kong's Quest, but after playing Returns I must say that it is equally challenging and fun to play so it really has won me over, but still Diddy's will always have something DKCR lacks...
