:All I know is is that some random members of Zelda Wiki started copying Zeldapedia and even though ZW's admins dealt with it, ZP's admins started copying us, claiming it was the same thing, and for a long time would not stop copying us and every time we brought it up we were flamed and they claimed we were the ones acting like children. But that's just what I've seen/heard and I know there is more to it than that. {{:User:Triforce of the Gods/sig}} 20:30, 19 March 2010 (UTC) | :All I know is is that some random members of Zelda Wiki started copying Zeldapedia and even though ZW's admins dealt with it, ZP's admins started copying us, claiming it was the same thing, and for a long time would not stop copying us and every time we brought it up we were flamed and they claimed we were the ones acting like children.

::Actually, Bobby, that's about the whole of it. But we don't hate Wikia or anything. We've just had bad experiences with them. I would love to be on good terms with a wiki from Wikia, much like WiKirby and the Kirby Wikia are. I'm hoping Metroid and Wikitroid will learn to coexist in peace.{{:User:Neo/sig}} 21:08, 19 March 2010 (UTC) | ::Actually, Bobby, that's about the whole of it. But we don't hate Wikia or anything.

:Let be a bit clear: There are several reasons that we dislike Wikia in general that are not just related to the relations between wiki's. It's no secret that ZP and ZW have not gotten along pretty much ever, and that Wikitroid severely dislikes the fact we even exist, to the point of making legal threats and saying some very harsh things about us, including claiming we use "black" SEO tactics, which simply isn't true. | |||
:Despite all this, it only hurts the relations between Wikitroid and Meteroid Wiki. The idea behind the NIWA Network and the whole independent wiki ordeal is not due to personal interwiki relations (though they don't help), but due to how Wikia is ran in general. It's well documented all over the net exactly how Wikia works, and how many of us have had personal dealings with wikia in regards to buying out our wiki's, using some underhanded empty promises to make it so. For some, this does make sense. If you are an upstart wiki that doesn't exist for x product and you can't afford hosting: What wikia offers is enticing. | |||
:For wiki's who are already established or are growing on their own, what wikia offers is nothing short of a straight up buy out. In this buy out, you have to sacrifice the integrity of the wiki. You are required to change your legal license, and for guests to have double digit ads on almost every page. Some of the ads advertise fellow wiki's, some are just product ads. The point is... it's clutter. Most wiki's have ads, most don't overdo it like Wikia does. Add on top of exactly how wikia runs at the top and you can see some issues with it in general. Like I said, google "why we left wikia" you will find a lot of stuff out there that shows/tells you exactly why you shouldn't be with wikia. | |||
:Again, I don't want relations to be so rough with wikitroid, but were not the one sgoing to their wiki and tearing them down, they are coming to our wiki and being fairly hostile. Obviously, no one takes hostility very well. [[User:Nathanial Rumphol-Janc|Nathanial Rumphol-Janc]] 21:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

I ported over WiKirby's template for rounding borders easily in most browsers. Just replace -moz-border-radius:Xpx with <nowiki>{{round|x}}</nowiki> to get it done. Treat the template like a style command and place a semicolon after it if it isn't the last item in the styling. The X will be the radius, and it defaults to 15 if it isn't defined.{{:User:Neo/sig}} 16:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC) | I ported over WiKirby's template for rounding borders easily in most browsers.
