Just thought I'd provide an update to exemplify why Naruto and Spiritpact are ideal affiliations.

There is room for a sixth affiliation on the Narutopedia main page, of which all current affiliations are with other wiki’s with large page numbers. Anime wiki’s ideally need to support one another; even the largest most established ones are drops in the ocean compared to other Fandom sites (Star Wars has 144,279 pages, Marvel Database 209,269). Making effective use of the affiliates system is something largely anime series do to support themselves so the case could be made the suitable ones should be arranged.

I’d love to affiliate Naruto and Spiritpact on the grounds that they are relatable. I feel Spiritpact’s themes and background should overcome that it is not (yet) mainstream if that were a deciding factor. Naruto’s success is resolutely secured, it has everything it wants on a solid platinum diamond encrusted platter and more, seen as one of the greatest anime series, ever. Could a case be made that it has a duty to look back and help others? Rubbing shoulders with popular series is all well and good, but a true mark of strength is how you decide to spend your influence. Do you choose to associate only with other popular series? Or reach back to help your friends join where you are. If Spiritpact had 6,000+ pages and Naruto (currently) far less I wouldn’t look down and ignore the Naruto series, instead I would make the affiliation on the fact they share common ground and themes in the world they take place in. Also, anime series supporting one another is really the only feasible way of expanding the base to even be noticed by people into series like Star Wars/every other established much larger Fandom site in the grand scheme of things.

Please everyone share their thoughts and opinions on this matter, as I said I’ll endeavour and be on hand to answer any questions.
