Frankly I don't see how Wikia counts as its own engine however, it's just MediaWiki with an ugly skin and some features.

:Wikia ''may'' be based on MediaWiki, but it is so uniquely modified to the extent that no other host or provider can display the same as Wikia - hence why it should be differenciated from traditional MediaWiki sites. MediaWiki has spawned many clones (and not all MediaWiki look-alikes are written in [[:Category:PHP|PHP]]), and those are recognised as a [[:Category:Wiki | :Wikia ''may'' be based on MediaWiki, but it is so uniquely modified to the extent that no other host or provider can display the same as Wikia - hence why it should be differenciated from traditional MediaWiki sites. MediaWiki has spawned many clones (and not all MediaWiki look-alikes are written in [[:Category:PHP|PHP]]), and those are recognised as a [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]] in their own right. Indeed, [[WikiMatrix]] now lists Wikia as a separate engine [https://www.WikiMatrix.org/wiki/Wikia:intro here] (sadly, WikiMatrix seems offline at the moment). To list all individual Wikia wikis in the [[:category:MediaWiki]] is highly distorting, especially to those genuine MediaWiki sites, and especially when [[user:emijrp|emijrp]] finishes his bot trawl through all 200,000 Wikias. IMVHO, I would suggest that it is best to index Wikia wikis under a Wikia wiki engine (especially as there are over 200,000 of them!), and keep the Wikia category a sub-category of MediaWiki.
