Although on further investigation there is point #12 here, which
rather puts a dampener on it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EXTERNAL#Links_normally_to_be_avoided

give you wiggle room. And to avoid the problem of the Wikia content
changing I assume it's possible to link to a specific page version.
Good luck.
