Hey,
Out of curiosity, what's the largest wiki to
use Semantic MediaWiki?
That depends on how you defined "largest". If you want a list of public
wikis (which of course is not complete) by property value count, then here
you go:

SMW is used on many hundreds of wikis, including those of governments and
large corporations. It has been out there for years. People seem to be
using it very successfully. It also has by far the largest third party
community next to core itself. From my perspective a lot of the concerns
typically coming from people whenever WMF usage of SMW is in question are
uninformed paranoia. And there seems to be a good deal of populism going on
as well, since apparently in some WMF related circles it is cool to hate
SMW.
I'd say it's well informed paranoia. SMW is used on some largish wikis at
Wikia and it apparently causes issues very often. The largest wiki with SMW
at Wikia is very small in comparison to a lot of WMF wikis.
SMW has historically had a touch of the featuritis. Most of its features
would need to be disabled on WMF wikis due to performance reasons, and then
what's the point?
