User blog:Schoolbus13/Wiki family?

Keep an eye on SB's blog for the latest move updates!

NOTE: This blog is for AFTER the move; once all of the wikis are moved off of Wikia (which could be......?)

Well, I was searching the other wikis that have already left Wikia, and more wikis are creating central/splash/index/forum/blog pages that have links to their family's wikis (central pages). NIWA (Nintendo Independent Wiki Aliance; home of Bulbapedia [PKMN], Pikim/Pikmin Fanon, Mario Wiki, SmashWiki, Kirby Wiki,) and CPW (Club Penguin Wiki, Club Penguin Fanon and Un Club Penguin Wiki). We should do it too.

Why should we do it?
Based on my count, who's moving? Generally, if all of these wikis are to be on one server, then they should work together as a family. Interwiki links, index page, central forum....
 * SNN/Sonic News Network
 * SFW/Sonic Fanon Wiki
 * SSTW/Sonic Sound Test Wiki
 * SFCW/Sonic Fan Crossovers Wiki
 * SPN/Shadow SpyNet
 * And other Non-Sonic wikis:
 * Naruto
 * Bleach
 * Super Mario Bros. Z (Frankly, this should go with NIWA, as it is related to NINTENDO more than SEGA.)
 * Sphinxpedia....

Interwiki map
When you type in w:c:sonic:, you are taken to on SNN, without having to put in a full URL. This is caled interwiki mapping.

We should take the time and do that for all of the above wikis after we move.

Index page
Go to Google/Yahoo, etc. and type in "NIWA". Click the link. Instead of a NIWA wiki, you are taken to a central splash website with links to every NIWA wiki and the forum. We should do that.

Central forum
What if there's a support issue that can't be resolved on local wikis? Any intros? We should create a STANDALONE forum for the wiki group as well.

Group Name?
On Xat, Guyviroth came up with a great name for the Sonic wiki group: Sonic Nexus. That's a great idea, but what about Non-Sonic wikis? Those aren't EXACTLY related to Sonic or SEGA.....
