The Wikia-Software is certainly based on MediaWiki. But it is so heavily modified, that for us, it counts as its own wiki engine. At the same time wiki is a [[Wiki farm]]. We do not have any clear policy or any guidances at all to clearly decide or distinguish what is a modified or simply customized engine and what is a new engine. On the [http://api.wikia.com/wiki/Legacy_API#MediaWiki_API_Documentation API-Wiki of Wikia] it is said: "Since Wikia is built on top of MediaWiki, the MediaWiki API can be used to access most of the data on our sites. In addition, the LyricWiki API gives access to LyricWiki and the Wikia Custom API provides access to many of our Wikia-specific features".
