I agree with you that this should not be on a
commercial site. It should
be part of Wikipedia. Anything outside of Wikipedia is a backwater. I ask
everyone I meet if they've been to Wikipedia. They all say they have. Then
I ask them if they have ever been to Wikinews, Wiktionary or Wikia. Not a
single person I have asked has even heard of Wikia. A very large majority
have never been to any of the other Wikimedia projects. Anything moved from
Wikipedia is moved into obscurity.
I agree 100%. Like you say, if it's not on Wikipedia, it doesn't exist.
I suspect that you'd get a lot of hits on Memory Alpha... from people
who don't even realize it's now hosted by Wikia.
