- Zeldapedia

Zeldapedia is a wiki about The Legend of Zelda series, which is hosted on Wikia, and is therefore a competing Wiki with Zelda Wiki.org. It was created June 15, 2005 by Champion Kai. In June 2007, a merger between Zeldapedia and Zelda Wiki.org was proposed by Angela Beesley, however this offer was rejected by the Masterminds.

Characteristics and Policies
Many aspects of policy at Zeldapedia are controlled by central policy decisions at Wikia itself. This results in certain differences from Zelda Wiki.org, such as the fact that Zeldapedia currently allows anonymous (non-registered) users to edit. Also, many criticisms commonly raised against Wikia itself are potentially extended to their hosted wikis such as Zeldapedia, including criticisms of being primarily financially motivated, and perceptions of a more centralized and less community based or caring approach.

One notable policy difference between Zeldapedia and Zelda Wiki.org is the usage of citations and references which, while a core principle here at ZW.org, are less valued at Zeldapedia.

Other Languages
Zeldapedia incorporates a number of sub-wikis for various European languages. Most have remained small in size, with the largest as of June 13th 2009 being the Spanish Zeldapedia with a count of 187 articles.
