Welcome! Yes, you will be added as staff when DK WIki is added

[HavocReaper48]

I'm with Mega, I'm also from the DKWiki. Yeah, when we join we'll need that access.

As for myself, I am HavocReaper48 (why I put "User:" before that registering here I do not know  , name change requested?) and I have been an editor on Wikia for several months. My first wiki I ever joined/registered on was SmashWiki.

I, being an absolute DKC fanatic, helped rise up the Donkey Kong Wikia shortly after seeing Wikia's large network. Articles were short and aspects un-updated. It shortly became my main wiki right after SW. Things went well, I had also associated myself with the Ace Combat and Street Fighter Wikias in my time, becoming an admin on both as well as becoming the lead editor of the DKWikia.

True, some drama (read: level articles, admin rights, edit wars...) came up every now and then. True, some articles were copied right off MW (desperate early community, much before I joined). And yeah, it took several months for an established community to finally form. I stuck through thick and thin. Until, the dreaded day, the new skin came,  and this time, I was without any power to stop it...

...I'm assuming you all know the story from there. I look forward to being an active part of NIWA.  The DKWiki/a does NOT encourage article copying from MW from this point. Don't do it. Really. I've purposely gone out of my way to differ from MarioWiki as much as possible.

Hey everybody,

I'm BrandedOne and I'm kind of a newbie to all of this.  However, I've been watching NIWA grow since it's creation and I'm excited to see it continue to grow into what I'm sure will be my #1 resource for all Nintendo knowledge.  I'm a fan of anything that has Nintendo's name on it, but my favorite series has to be the Fire Emblem Series (which is where my username comes from).  I hardly know anything about how to run a wiki, so I don't think I'll be doing much of that, but I'll be happy to contribute when I can where I can.  I've noticed that the members of this particular community are very supportive of each other and their work, which is something I don't see often enough on the Internet, and I'd like to become involved in any way I can.

Welcome to NIWA, BrandedOne. You may not know who to run a wiki, but do you know how to contribute to one?

If so, then I recommend checking out an Affialite of ours called the "Fire Emblem Wiki". It would be a great place for you to start, since you are a big fan of the series.

If not, Join anyway. It would be an excellent training ground for you.

Also, Welcome to everyone else who hasn't been welcomed yet.

[BrandedOne]

Yeah, right now I really don't know much, but I think I've found my stomping ground.   

I'm sure I'll have questions about how to set up pages, templates, and such, but I might be able to figure that out from examples already in existence.

Sounds good. And by chance, do you have a skype?

[BrandedOne]

That I do.  Just sent you a request.

Sweet!

[Solar Dragon]

Hi all,
I am Solar Dragon. I am currently a member of SmashWiki and Bulbapedia. I used to have rollback rights at SmashWiki before I decided to leave, this was when it was on Wikia.

I am a member of the Anti-Wikia Alliance and I support all wikis moving from Wikia. I would also hope that one day, Wikia will go bankrupt and fall.

I am pleased that wikis like Pikmin and SmashWiki decided to leave Wikia. Wikia is definitely one of the worst farms in control the founder has over the wiki. At least ShoutWiki allows the founder to change bureaucrat and bot rights at will.

I still occasionally edit SmashWiki and may become a more prominent member in the future again.

Hi Solar Dragon. I think I've seen you editing around Bulbapedia.

[GrandPyromania]

Hey everybody!

I'm GrandPyromania, I'm an LPer, just like Chuggaaconroy. I came here initially, because of my friends Chuggaaconroy, and Cody from ZU. I'm sorta here, just to partake in discussion, and to support NIWA. I have high respects for NIWA, and the Wikis involved in it. Often, for my LPs, you guys are my primary source of information. Keep up the great work!

[Moydow]

Sweet! Welcome to the NIWA forums. And don't worry, we intend to keep going for a long time to come!
