There might be a time when forks will work well, but that'll be several years from now, when the user base is much bigger and there are better sofware interfaces and visualizations to sort through the differences between the forks.
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Main_Page I think that dissproves your claim.
As I've said before (http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-September/028369.html), 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.
