==History==
==History==
Before the idea of a Nintendo wiki network was fully formulated, [[zeldawiki:Main Page|ZeldaWiki]] approached [[bulbapedia: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 initially refused.

Some time later, Bulbapedia's headmaster, Archaic, made [[Forum: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.
