F-Zero Wiki?

I'm quite surprised this hasn't shown up, but I can see why it hasn't just yet.

F-Zero is actually quite a dead series these days and we haven't got a new game of it in ages.

Not to mention, not many people actually know about it as a series. Through Smash Bros., the only thing people largely recognize out of it are Captain Falcon and his Falcon Punch, nothing more. This has caused people to shun the F-Zero series in favor of only Falcon and completely forget about where this series really shone.

Nevertheless, should we bring forth an F-Zero Wiki onto NIWA, to do this depressingly died-out franchise some justice? At least if there are any F-Zero (read: NOT Captain Falcon) fans around here.

We should generally avoid creating our own wikis of series, but it can be done. If no major F-Zero fan communities exist and the Wikia one doesn't want to move, maybe we could.

You might want to take a look at this.

I believe Tacopill, Moydow and Level 3 are working on it as we speak.

Indeed we are :) We'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. At the moment we're looking for hosting, which has been hard to get financially, but we're working on it.

I can't provide hosting, but if you guys need helping buying a domain name, I can do that for you.

I sent Moydow a message some time ago in skype. If WiKirby's new VPS plan allows it, I may be able to share space with them. But Archaic is willing to host at least another wiki, afaik.

Both of those would be cool.







Archaic

Yeah, I can take several more wiki's. The only concern right now is that my tech has been mostly absent, so any wikis would have to go on a niwanetwork.org sub-domain for starters, until I was able to catch him and get a full domain account setup for it.



Level 3

As in what happened with Nintendo Wiki?
That sounds good.

Admin at the F-Zero Wiki.

currently, Nintendo wiki is in a sub-directory (with a slash /wiki) not a subdomain (wiki.niwanetwork.org)







Archaic

Which is only because our tech seems to be on an unannounced holiday or something. That'll be fixed up as soon as I can catch him.

Lord Ferrok, are you looking to become an Editor of F-Zero Wiki?

Sure, I'm not good with tech stuff, but if it's just editing I should be able to do it.

Maxite

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of movement with regards to F-Zero. However, I suspect that's because they're waiting on hosting.
