Hello. I am Trig Jegman, founder or director of multiple independent wikis but most notably https://qix.wiki.gg/wiki/Qix_Wiki Qix Wiki, a site meant to document the Qix franchise of games originally released for arcades in 1981.

My reason for arrival today is that I would like to form a partnership between the Atari Wiki and Qix Wiki, as described on https://qix.wiki.gg/wiki/Qix_Wiki:Affiliates my affiliates page—I would link to the Atari wiki for related articles, and the Atari wiki would link to Qix for related articles. Qix has a large Atari population of titles: The original Qix was released on Atari 8-bit, 5200, and Lynx; Volfied, a sequel, saw releases with the Atari ST. There are plenty of knockoffs as well, like Maniax.

Mutual linking has benefits for both search engine purposes and readers alike, as those wanting to get into greater depth on a subject would be able to use a better resource that specifically focuses on it in detail (as opposed to a generic site like Wikipedia or MobyGames). It was one of the strongest factors in the success of NIWA, the Nintendo wiki collective organization succeeding as much as it has.

If there are any active staff or community members on board with this proposal, please let me know if you are interested here or through Discord (username: trigjegman)

Wrong forum for this kind of SEO requests :lol:. If you had checked the Atari Wiki before posting, you would have seen that it's now maintained by Exxos: https://www.atari-wiki.com/index.php?ti ... Wiki:About. The landing page of the Atari Wiki has a link to the suggestions thread in Exxos's forum.

It was not clear which one should have been used for this type of request. Apologies for the intrusion.
