The German section of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, or NIWA for short, and also known as the NIWA Network, is a network of wikis and their associated websites written in German, that aims to chronicle all things Nintendo, supporting wikis independent of large corporate wiki groups or organisations such as Wikia.
All NIWA Network wikis are independently owned and operated, and separately hosted. Individually, they maintain their own unique design, core values, and established traditions.[1]

Inductees
As of June 2018, there are two members of the German Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance; MarioWiki and Zeldapendium. There was a third member, NintendoWiki, but they were subsequently excluded due to inactivity.
Name
The NIWA acronym is derived from the English Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. The word 'niwa' is also romanised Japanese for 'garden', and symbolises the natural growth of the community around the wiki communities that make up NIWA. This is fitting, given Nintendo's Japanese origins, with romanisation of Japanese being an important aspect of all three wikis that currently make up the network.[1]
Legal
