Inkipedia:Cross-Wiki Week
A woomy and a veemo to you!
The Cross-Wiki Week is an annual event hosted by the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (NIWA), held to celebrate Nintendo's birthday. The purpose of the event is to promote cooperation by inviting editors to contribute to wikis they don't regularly edit. At the end of the event, two winners will receive a $20/€20 Nintendo eShop gift card for participating! The 2024 Cross-Wiki Week will take place from Friday, 20 September, to Monday, 30 September. For more information, please have a look at NIWA's main page.
Feel free to join our Discord chat if you need help or want to discuss something!
