I don't know if there is an article about this anywhere, but what is the relationship between Wikia and Wikipedia? By that, I mean are the affiliated or completely separate?

And I was curious: I know one can copy and paste from Wikipedia and add it to a wiki and there is a template to source such information, but what if one copied from a wiki and added the information to Wikipedia?
