Unfortunately, Wikia looks like it's in the process of becoming a cautionary tale, with its recent move to start injecting its own video content into certain high-traffic wikis and a general decline in customizability and independence.

Wikia seems to be gradually being replaced by self hosted wikis, at least where larger fandoms are concerned. The Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (Mario Wiki, Zelda Wiki, Bulbapedia, etc) are one example, the Square Enix Wiki Alliance are another, and I'm sure the likes of the Simpsons Wiki have moved away from the service as well.

  Zelda Wiki is hosted on Gamepedia. It's like Wikia but specifically for Video Games and less obstrusive.

    Well it used to be self hosted. Not sure I like the move much, feels like they're betraying the organisation they're supposedly part of.
