There were originally two wikis for the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. These were: SmashWiki, hosted by [[SmashBoards|Smash World Forums]] and founded by {{sm|Gideon}} (earliest known edit August 12, 2006 and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.smashboards.com/threads/introducing-smashwiki-and-the-smash-boards-podcast.98564/ officially launched]</span> March 5, 2007); and the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, hosted by {{s|wikipedia|Wikia}} and founded by Alexir55 (founded April 2, 2007). On February 29, 2008, SmashWiki merged with the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, with "SmashWiki" becoming the merged wiki's name. This union continued for over two years, with SmashWiki continuing to grow in size and scope. However, in September 2010, dissatisfaction with Wikia's policies caused a significant portion of the userbase to leave in favor of forming an independent wiki; this wiki later joined the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.niwanetwork.org/ Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]</span> and brought the "SmashWiki" name with them, while "SmashWikia" continued to operate under its original host. SmashWikia later changed its name to "Smashpedia" in September 2013. | There were originally two wikis for the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
