As a means of providing more information to the reader without going outside our scope, StrategyWiki has partnerships with a few other wikis on the Internet, so that we can share information and visitors on specific subjects. StrategyWiki provides the game information and walkthroughs, while the other wikis typically provide more detailed all-round information.

If you know of a large wiki which you think would make a good StrategyWiki partner, please suggest it on the forums; as long as it's a well-established and vibrant wiki, with detailed and appropriate information, it's likely to be contacted about forming a partnership.

For a list of the wikis which we're considering merging or forming a partnership with, please see StrategyWiki:Content import.

Bulbapedia

Bulbapedia (part of the larger Encyclopaediae Pokémonis) was the first wiki with which StrategyWiki formed a partnership. Our partnership with them relates to Pokémon, with us linking to their pages on individual Pokémon, and them linking to us for game walkthroughs.

To link to a Bulbapedia article on a Pokémon, use the {{bp}} template, which takes the Pokémon's name as its first parameter. Further usage is explained on its template page.

To link to a Bulbapedia article on a Pokémon move, use the {{bpm}} template, which takes the move's name as its first parameter. Again, further usage is explained on its template page.

To link to a Bulbapedia article on a Pokémon ability, use the {{bpa}} template, which takes the ability's name as its first parameter. Again, further usage is explained on its template page.

Zelda Wiki

Zelda Wiki is a large wiki devoted to Zelda and everything associated with it, and we have a partnership with them similar in scope to our Bulbapedia partnership; they link to us for game walkthroughs, and we link to them for Zelda information.

To link to a Zelda Wiki article, use the {{zw}} template, which takes the article's name as its first parameter. Further usage is explained on its template page.

All Zelda game guides should also have a box link on their main page to the appropriate ZeldaWiki page. For this, the {{zeldawiki}} template should be used.

WiKirby

WiKirby is a wiki with a focus on Kirby, and our partnership with them is similar in scope to Bulbapedia and Zelda Wiki.

To link to a WiKirby article, use the {{wk}} template, which takes the article's name as its first parameter. Further usage is explained on its template page.

All Kirby game guides should also have a box link on their main page to the appropriate WiKirby page. For this, the {{WiKirby}} template should be used.

NIWA

We are also in a partnership with NIWA, the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, a group of wikis dedicated to Nintendo subjects. There are currently 19 so far, with Lyliat Wiki being the most recent.
