 The '''Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance''', or '''NIWA''' for short, is a network of independent wikis striving to chronicle the many diverse video game universes created by [[Nintendo]].
 ==History==
-Before the idea of a Nintendo wiki network was fully formulated, {{ZW|Main Page|ZeldaWiki}} approached {{BP|Main Page|Bulbapedia}} to begin a possible affiliation.  After some deliberation, it was eventually decided that an entire network of independent Nintendo-based wikis could be created, and the Super Mario Wiki was asked to become a founding member.  Soon thereafter, Zelda Wiki administrators Axiomist and Mandy contacted [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]], the founder of Super Mario Wiki, about an alliance with the Zelda Wiki, which he initally refused.

-Some time later, Bulbapedia's headmaster, Archaic, made [http://forum.mariowiki.com/index.php?topic=7014.0 this post] in the Mario Wiki forums, which lead to a formal discussion about the then-called INW, or Independent Nintendo Wikis.  Progress was made, and after a few days, Porplemontage agreed to the alliance and the Super Mario Wiki became the third founding member of NIWA.

Progress was made, and after a couple days, Porplemontage agreed to the alliance and the Super Mario Wiki became the third founding member of NIWA.
-Startup wikis [http://wikirby.info/wiki/Main_Page WiKirby] and [http://www.metroidwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page Metroid Wiki] were later created to become members of NIWA, which will occur after their userbases develop.
+[[WiKirby:Kirby Wiki|WiKirby]], [[MetroidWiki:Main Page|Metroid Wiki]], [[WarsWiki:Main Page|Wars Wiki]], and many others later joined the alliance.
 ==Name==
-There were many proposals for the name of this new organization, but the one that was eventually chosen was the "Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance" or "NIWA."  In Japanese, ''niwa'' (にわ) means "garden," symbolizing the natural growth of our fan communities.  The acronym is especially fitting given Nintendo's own origins in Japan.
