History[1][user-generated source?]
[edit]WiiLink was originally founded by Dogmander, Marko and Auto1lija in April 2020 as "Wii No Ma development", which they then renamed to "Rii no Ma" with only one goal, reconstructing Wii no Ma. However, in September 2020, after merging with BetterConnect24 and restructuring themselves, they became WiiLink24. Later, on May 19th, 2021, they dropped the "24" from their name (which was probably a reference to WiiConnect24's name also ending in 24),[citation needed] and rebranded to simply "WiiLink", and since 2023, shortly after Larsenv stepped down as RiiConnect24's main leader, WiiLink have merged with them.[5][non-primary source needed]
