::Well for the background, I think there's too much colors going on in it. The sidebars are fine, but the part where the text is is pink i think htat sholuld be white. The absolute background should be a block color too imo (what's the point of those shapes? are they like paw prints?). And I was talking about the ''deisigns'' of the infoboxes, not hte actual infoboxes. Check Jimbo Jambo's userpage to check out some of the infoboxes he designed. And I guess you're right about the margin things. I'll just learn to deal with it. [[User:EmptyStar|EmptyStar]] 20:20, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think so. I like the wiki as it is. Maybe something that bothers me is (as EmptyStar said) is the space between the diferent secctions of a gallery. [[User:Fawful|Fawful]] 05:14, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

:In my opinion, we should stay away from fan games unless one gets widespread enough to eclipse some of the actual games (which I don't believe is close to happening at this point).

:::The biggest (and practically only known) fan game is called Banjo Threeie Chapters. You can find that here http://goo.gl/TIUota. While it does look...uh...shabby at best, it's practically the first complete banjo game that you might have heard of. There are others, but it took me a whole lot of googling to find them, so I can understand why they wouldn't get a page.

:::The hacking utilities...have you heard of Banjo's Backpack? It's a level editor for the n64 version of Banjo-Kazooie. It's pretty amazing and is a big part of BK history (at least in my opinion). You can find that here http://goo.gl/sWA230. Again there are others, but they are less important, and don't effect BK as much (a N64 sound tool, a BK re-texture tool, just to name a few). [[User:TheGreatNi|&#60;-_-&#62; he watches...]] ([[User talk:TheGreatNi|talk]]) 03:41, December 7, 2013 (UTC)

== Affiliate with NIWA ==
Hello Jiggywikki community, I've brought this idea on Discord, but thought it's better to discuss it on the wiki itself. NIWA has an [https://niwanetwork.org/affiliates/ affiliate section] on its website, which is separate from its membership section and doesn't consist of Nintendo franchises. Most ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games to date have debuted on Nintendo consoles, so it's not a foreign series to Nintendo fans roaming around NIWA. Finding Jiggywikki in affiliates could have positive effects both on the wiki itself as well as relations with a fellow independent wiki alliance. What do you think? -[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 17:11, October 22, 2022 (UTC)
:I'm in support of it [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 23:45, October 22, 2022 (UTC)
::Same here, now that we got Zeldapedia.wiki and don't have to worry about the integrity of Jiggywikki being affected any longer if it were to affiliate with something whose members are all indie-hosted [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 20:35, October 27, 2022 (UTC)
== 2024 Changes ==
In January 2024, I'm going to be starting a grifkuba-wide effort to revise many of the skins on wikis that we host. If you would like to be part of the conversation, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/CkZykKqNDR grifkuba discord server].

== Indie Wiki Jam ==
I'm helping put together a edit jam for January.
