SmashWiki:About
SmashWiki was created to compile a complete, thorough, and dynamic repository of information relating to the Super Smash Bros. franchise, a series of games produced by Nintendo. SmashWiki is a wiki, meaning that it is written and maintained by the community and can be instantly edited by a variety of contributors.
There were originally two wikis for the Super Smash Bros. series. These were: SmashWiki, hosted by Smash World Forums and founded by Gideon (earliest known edit August 12, 2006), and the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, hosted by Wikia and founded by Alexir55 (founded April 2, 2007). On February 29, 2008, SmashWiki merged with the Super Smash Bros. Wiki on Wikia (usually referred to as "SmashWikia"). This stayed for over 2 years. However, in September 2010, after a large portion of the userbase was unhappy with the way Wikia was running the site, a new SmashWiki hosted by the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (NIWA) was started.
SmashWiki is designed to include content relating to a number of issues including the games themselves, characters, stages, strategies and techniques, competitive play, the vibrant community that has developed around the game, and much more. Besides being a resource for advanced players looking to improve their game, it is also designed to be of use to beginners just learning how to play, those who enjoy playing Smash Bros. for fun with friends, and even those interested in learning more about the heritage of the various elements that make up the Super Smash Bros. universe.
