NIWA Community Thread 2013

I was shooting for just top-of-the-head knowledge if possible, I suppose.

Do you mean where the whole quote comes from or just a part?

Off-topic from most other discussion, but do you think that NIWA has been getting too many members lately? I mean about half just joined in the last month, and another one (hopefully WikiBound) is coming. Maybe Wikia has been a bit bad with business lately, with many wikis moving off their servers, mostly to ShoutWiki, as shown in this link: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Anti-Wikia_Alliance/linkdatabase

In that case, I only know that the abbreviation means "serious business"...

What do you mean by too many? There've been a lot, but is that a bad thing, you think? The front page might get too big for me to take screenshots of every time it changes (I missed a few times), and the bar up there might get too big too. But otherwise I don't see that much of a problem.

Also, I think it'll be WikiBound too, but you never know!

I'm not saying that it is a bad thing; it's a very good thing that NIWA is growing. I don't know why, but I find it somewhat weird. And hopefully there won't be a time when the bar takes over the whole page. I mean we're now at 12 wikis, with 4 wikis trying to join, not counting the to-join wiki and counting DK wiki. That would put the total to 16, and even more considering the second-party series and other first party ones like F-Zero. I don't know, I guess the garden is just hitting a time of prosperity.

Who are the wikis attempting to join? I know FE, DK, and WikiBound are.

All it needs is a front page redesign.


Also, we've made plans to resurrect an F-Zero Wiki, with some NIWA people serving as Admins till the time to go independent is near.

Animal Crossing and Glitch Cities "Project Phoenix" are two, and the ones you mentioned are the others.

Ace Attorney is planned; and I think Gamehiker is recovering from vandalism (can't remember if I read this somewhere or if it's just my imagination).

Ace Attorney is planned but it's not getting anywhere.
SO far. the best option looks to be getting the wikia one to leave wikia, honestly.

I payed for three day shipping, it shipped Friday (11/19) it won't be delivered until the 29, so I payed the extra money for nothing

Well, it's 3 busniess days. Which, if you include the time dilation of the earth and the crossing of the international date line......is really 10.

I tried email UPS about it, all I got was the typical non-answer reply

Well, shipping  doesn't happen on sundays, thanksgiving and such; plus you throw in what i said earlier and budget cutbacks, you should be seeing it  sometime after New Years

So what does the new wiki cover?

[Maxite]

Apparently it covers Nintendo as a whole, but isn't as in depth about video games and series as the member wikis are.

This, along with corporate, financial, legal,  public relations, historical, cultural, etc. stuff about Nintendo; but nothing series specific.
