I wasn't around back then. Maybe it has to do with some conversion/transition/change that was done at some point after the wiki was created? I know that the older users don't have registration time stamps associated with their accounts. Maybe the older wikis don't have founder information? Does anyone who has been around longer than me have any idea?

I noticed that, according to api v1, the wiki was created in 2006. For some reason, the founder id is set to 0 (i.e. invalid id/anon/no one/actual id removed). Not sure if it still works this way, but it seems that, in the past, when a user belonging to a global user group changed their username, the id for their old username would be changed to 0. If the wiki was requested, maybe a former staff was listed as the founder but has since left; resulting in their id and the wiki's founder id changing to 0. I don't know; just speculating. - Edit:

On second thought, that doesn't seem to make sense as that would mean Wikia can change the founder id. If they could do that, then it would make even less sense that they can't retroactively give the tag. I would guess the reason they can't grant the tag retroactively is that they can't change the founder id.
