2024's event takes place from September 20th to September 30th!

The Cross-Wiki Week is an annual event collaborated by different NIWA wikis. The idea is to encourage people to contribute to NIWA wikis that they aren't very familiar with. This not only helps wikis that are in need of a workforce, but also makes everyone learn more about wikis and franchises they don't know much about. Editors who participate can win a prize, usually a Nintendo eShop funds card. You can learn more about the event here.
