I know this forum hasn't been used for a month but this issue is still ongoing, the wiki link in Smash Wold Forums still links to the wikia (which isn't inactive anymore, some admins have arrived at the wikia) is there anything that can be done apart from spamming requests to the admins?--[[User:Shaun's Wiji Dodo|<span style="color: green;">'''Shaun's Wiji Dodo'''</span>]] [[User talk:Shaun's Wiji Dodo|''<span style="color: green;">talk</span>'']] [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif‎ ]] 02:44, 11 January 2011 (EST)

:::The staff guy that showed up said that the regular two-month period is being waived because it's a high-traffic wiki. Luckily, there are pretty much no smart users to speak of, so there will be no potential admins.

Got a response from an admin from SWF
''Hi Omega,''
''We have had some brief discussions about the future of the wiki links within the senate. The reality is we are exploring redoing the entire main page and where the wiki stuff fits in is something we are going to have to consider.''
''Frankly I am not so sure we are going to continue to have any links what so ever to the wiki. The reality is it is an external site in which we have zero control over.''
''That said we are going to have to talk about it more and then potentially discuss things with you and the other admin over there.''
''For now though, we might just take the whole thing down.''
''Regardless thanks for the pm about the switch.''
''-JV''
It seems like we're finally getting through. While I would prefer a link to our site, no Wiki link is better than a link to Wikia. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 10:29, 12 January 2011 (EST)
:Maybe we could put a link to Smash World Forums on our main page or give one of their admins some power to suggest ideas for this wiki, that might sway their decision to keep a link to a wiki, preferably this one.--[[User:Shaun's Wiji Dodo|<span style="color: green;">'''Shaun's Wiji Dodo'''</span>]] [[User talk:Shaun's Wiji Dodo|''<span style="color: green;">talk</span>'']] [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 10:41, 12 January 2011 (EST)
Well, SmashBoards no longer has a link to SmashWikia in their menu, though the [wiki] tags available still go to it. It's an improvement. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Frivolous 21:54, 2 February 2011 (EST)
