SmashWiki joins NIWA

SmashWiki is a wiki devoted to the Super Smash Bros. series of games that is a member of the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. Unlike with the wikis for the constituent series of Smash Bros., such as Bulbapedia, SmashWiki extensively covers technical and competitive aspects of the games, and provides analyses of each game's characters and stages.

History

SmashWiki was created from the merger of two separate wikis. The first wiki, also named SmashWiki, was founded on SmashBoards by Gideon; it was created in December 2005 (the earliest known edit being August 12, 2006) and it was officially launched on March 5, 2007. The second wiki, the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, was founded on Wikia by Alexir55 on April 2, 2007. On February 29, 2008, the two wikis merged, taking the name SmashWiki but being hosted on Wikia.

In September 2010, SmashWiki was moved to its current domain as an independent wiki by Porplemontage, with the wiki remaining on Wikia being renamed SmashWikia (later renamed Smashpedia in September 2013).

SmashWiki joined the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance on October 29, 2010.
