{{ink||Inkipedia}}, a wiki focused on {{bp|Nintendo}}'s newest {{wp|intellectual property}}, {{ink|Splatoon}}, joined NIWA today, bringing the number of wikis in the NIWA's ranks to twenty three.

Inkipedia was founded on Wikia on June 10, 2014, the same day that Splatoon was first announced as a part of {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014|Nintendo's 2014 E3 presentation}}. After suggestions from NIWA member {{pk||Pikipedia}} in April of this year, Inkipedia began transitioning into an independent wiki, with the move beginning on May 18.

NIWA, short for {{bp|Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance}}, is an alliance consisting of 23 wikis. The first three were {{bp|Bulbapedia}}, {{bp|Zelda Wiki}}, and {{bp|Super Mario Wiki}}. The alliance soon grew to six, later to ten, and now to the current twenty three.
