That's intriguing, any idea why Wikia is being so unfriendly with that?
Are they doing the usual corporation "our data is ours/secrecy is
good/we don't need your research as it may reveal things we don't want
the world/competitors to know about" shtick?

Wikia (the largest wiki farm?) appears to be drastically
under-researched...
Part of the reason may be that they don't offer regular data dumps.
But WikiTeam has remedied and recovered dumps for most of their top
14k wikis (as well as all images):

It's possible to release updates if needed, just tell us with some
advance because it takes weeks or months due to aggressive throttling
and blocking policies.
