John Q.? Someone else?
Do you think we could get a wgLanguageCode or languageCode attribute in 
the <general /> element in the API:
http://www.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces

I was considering modifying pywikipediabot at some point to be able run 
on wikia without using family files by grabbing
the data needed from the api, and just using a wikia_* family with a 
lang. But there's no way to check out the content language of the wiki 
to verify it or set the default namespaces right or various other things 
without using an extremely
complex and touchy method which requires the grabbing of multiple API 
pages to list every Wikia's domain, and search for wiki with 
www.*.wikia.com and www.lang.*.wikia.com to grab it's ID, then grab the 
configuration variables from the API.
