That is a total strawman Lars - I expect better from you. First, IMDb is NOT a Wikimedia project.
I'm sorry. When I said Wikispecies should probably best develop separately from Wikipedia (but with a compatible license), I assumed it would not be a Wikimedia project. I didn't spell this out, and neither did you spell out your contrary assumption. Or at least I didn't understand so.
Still, if I started a semiconductor wiki, where I tried to document every transistor since the [[AF107]] (Germanium, PNP, high frequency, circa 1961), I think my articles would be thrown out of the main Wikipedia pretty soon, and I should develop this idea in my own, separate project. The depth of such a project is too specialized to fit within a general encyclopedia and I suspect that the same would go for Wikispecies, if it is successful.
