I think that dissproves your claim.
As I've said before

Memory Alpha was never a fork of Wikipedia. This idea was derived from
the Star Trek Encyclopedia which predates Wikipedia by over 7 years.
It is under an incompatible license, which should mean that none of
the content in MA was even taken from Wikipedia. Please stop assuming
every other project that uses MediaWiki must be a fork of Wikipedia
since it really isn't true.
