What if we made a wiki that had all Nintendo content?

[KidIcarus]

For example it wouldn't have it's own users/editors, but it was just a compilation of all the articles we already have.

Then it would kinda defeat the purpose. Though we do have N-wiki....

[KidIcarus]

What "purpose" would it defeat?

P.S. the N-Wiki doesn't allow articles on many in-franchise elements AFAIK.
P.P.S. only on Nintendo miscellania

The purpose of NIWA is to make a network of wikis on individual Nintendo topics, rather than one messy wiki with everything, disambiguations every, constant notability issues due to the sheer size, and a difficulty to manage. Also, people tend to prefer information from a dedicated source rather than a mass collection. (e.g. Do you go to Wikipedia or Mario Wiki for information on Mario games?)

NIWA allows us to have independently managed wikis linked together to form a network of Nintendo information.

[KidIcarus]

Yeah you're right. After all the games take place in different universes. it wouldn't make sense for someone looking for things about johto to all so search for things about the mushroom kingdom at the same time. What if we combined pikmin fanon with other fanon wikis though?

[Vellidragon]

Just for the record, "we" don't do anything to our member wikis. NIWA is not Wikia; it does not control its members, they all act independently. If anything was to happen to Pikmin Fanon, it would need to be done by the Pikmin Fanon community, not the NIWA Network.

oh ya good point
