Non-nintendo Independent wikis | SONIC DOESN'T APPLY

[TurtwigA]

Then I'll replace them to make it:
A network of independent wikis, brought together by being independent, aiming to bring wikis to be free of mandatory skins and the like by making them independent. And helping them get bigger by letting them join a network that the wiki fits in.

much better. Hopefully Xizor approves of this one.  .

Anyway, back on topic.

I think the rule of best fit should apply: Are there other (possible) IWAs that franchise could fit in? If the answer is no, and the franchise is mostly based on Nintendo systems, then they would join NIWA. If the answer is yes, and the franchise best fits with NIWA, then it goes with NIWA, otherwise it goes the other IWA.

Currently, there are no other IWA's out there to begin with. So, you'd be stuck thinking of a wiki joining Hypothetical other iwa's, vs. joining us.

Now, i'm not saying that we would kick out a wiki we feel has better options out there; instead i think it would be up to the wiki. Should they join, then a better IWA comes along, will they:

1) Stay with NIWA
2) Leave NIWA for the other IWA
3) Stay with NIWA and Join the other IWA.

Personally, i like option #3; but that may make things more complex than other people out there may want.

Reposted for your convince.

I know this isn't exactly in the purview of video games, but if we are somewhat aiming for more IWAs, wouldn't it make sense to promote an anime/manga related IWA? There are lots of anime/manga-related wikis, so having them form an IWA would be a nice boost to our cause.

If NIWA wants to accept a Harvest Moon Wiki, it may want to consider this one.

Also, there is an independent Rayman Wiki.

cool. Thank you.

Alright guys, I hope you know NIWA won't soon set a completely unbendable system. Meaning if a sonic wiki met certain criteria, it would still have a chance of getting in. It simply has to be discussed by staff first :]

Unbendable systems never work very well anyway

Nope, they do not. We're looking for firm and flexible

It might be best for NIWA to expand beyond "NIWA" before we add Sonic et al in.

I thought sonic would join a sega IWA

First a sega IWA would have to exist.  I imagine that if one does come about in the future, a Sonic Wiki would probably be a founding member.

Well there is a Sega Retro group, and a wiki named Sonic Retro. Sonic wiki is much much smaller in comparison. I asked, but haven't gotten a response, about whether or not those two wikis are on good terms.

According to Wikipedia, a whole bunch, but none have really been successful since they stopped making their own consoles (with a few exceptions, like Super Monkey Ball).

wow, that's alot.

Valkyria Chronicles is doing really well, and is one of the more anticipated Sega titles right now. I am seriously considering getting a PSP so I can play it.

I just asked Sonic the Wiki if they are on good terms with Sonic Retro. Lets see what their response is.

I would just like to note that there are Pokémon games on non-Nintendo consoles. See this Bulbapedia template. There are 6 for PC, 2 for mobile phone, then there is even one for Sega Pico.

OK, so I just found out that there are more Pokémon games on Sega consoles. See this Bulbapedia template again; there are 3 Pokémon games for Sega Pico and 4 for Advanced Pico Beena.

Well, from the look of it, it seems they are educational games, so i consider it an allowable exception while they still qualify under what i said in the post that started this sub-thread.
