^_^ yay, now I can query 
http://*.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces 
and 
http://*.lang.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces
 
with a bot to grab all the data I'll need to make Pywikipediabot run 
without the use of family files for Wikia...
That is... when I actually get back to working with python things... lol
