I just have to point this out: The Mariowiki just has more and better information on articles than the Mario Wikia. The "are you serious?" sounded a little, well; harsh. What do you disagree about?

...And how do you make these Wiki-to-Wiki links?--Prezintenden

Sorry about that, I was just a bit annoyed that Talk:Unspeakable Wonder was ignored and completely disregarded. Anyway, Mario Wikia, since it's overshadowed by Mariowiki, has a smaller userbase, so their articles are obviously shorter and less informative. While you might think "Well then, why wouldn't you want to link to Mariowiki?" I'm kind of sympathetic to the idea of a struggling sister wikia, so I'd like to do as much as possible to attract people to the site. ...That, and wikia links don't have those...unsightly external link symbols...like that matters, though. Of course, we do have several regular users who have loyalties to Mariowiki. I'd love it if we could establish some kind of wiki-linking standard...as well as some other standards. Hm, in fact...
Oh, and to answer your question, other wikia which are part of the Central Wikia can be linked to by using [[w:c:(wikia name):(pagename)|(alternate text)]], example: [[w:c:Lost:The Monster|the Monster from LOST]] makes "the Monster from LOST" (spoiler warning, by the way). You can also just exclude the page name to link right to the main page. Wikis that are part of Wikia's interwiki map, like Wikipedia, can be linked to simply by using [[(wiki name)|page name]], like [[wikipedia:Pikmin]]. Independent wikis, like Mariopedia, which are not part of the interwiki map must be externally linked to. See wikia:Help:Tutorial 5 for more details. —Jimbo Jambo
