Thanks. Have been meaning to explore it for other uses. Did see
http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page which was pretty amusing...
If you do decide to make a separate wiki for whatever reason, I'd
suggest against Wikia with Uncyclopedia as a prime example of why it can
be a bad idea - create or move a wiki there, and Wikia will never let
you leave. Uncyclopedia, for instance, LEFT Wikia two years ago, but
Wikia's practice is to keep the site there, and as a result, google
searches still lead to that and not the new, much more active one at
uncyclopedia.co.
If you register a domain and trademarks for your site ahead of time,
this can help mitigate the damage as they will be forced to rename their
copy should you later decide to leave, but they'll still keep up a
mirror, and depending on how people were linking to it, google may
decide that this mirror is still the main site later, again leading back
to what Bjoern said.
You'd have enough battles to fight without having to deal with this sort
of thing.
