I was thinking if it would be a good move to ask wikia-staff to install Extension:Semantic MediaWiki with Semantic Bundle on this wiki?
See the Semantic MediaWiki homepage what this can do.

No not like a spreadsheet....more like a DATABASE ^^
See: smw:Help:Introduction_to_Semantic_MediaWiki
How exactly would it help us?
Because most of the sites I see using it are political or some sort of business...
Imagine we could query all sort of data from the items to automatically generate other data...
fe. most simple idea would be an automated listing of all items needing Metalworking<=40, or any amount of Oil or you get the idea..
It would even be posible to automatically generate an unlock-tree like listing....
In short about anything that would be possible with any normal database ;)

That would certainly flesh-out a lot of our more empty pages
Sorry TriMoon:
"Unfortunately we don't currently offer Semantic MediaWiki as an option on Wikia. We used to, which is why some wikias have it enabled, but a variety of compatibility issues have meant we have had to withdraw it as an option for new communities.
If there are other extensions you feel would be helpful, though, feel free to let us know and we'll see if we can offer them for you."
On a totally different note, I gave you a special mention here:

Thanks, maybe it's the right time to start seeking for another wiki provider that allows us to use SMW, before the efforts on this wiki become useless for the intended info...
No that's completely different, that's just for listing pages hence its name ;)
SMW allows a LOT more, which is what we would benefit from....
