I think this would be immensely helpful for niche topics

This.

I dont know how many people here are aware of Fandom, formerly known as Wikia. Basically what they are trying to do is collecting niche topic wikis in order to profit as much as possible. Very much criticized over the years by contributors for their practices.

Ibis could be the answer for niche wikis who dont want to be associated with Fandom/Wikia.

Fandom was exactly what I was thinking of. Just maybe without having more ads than content. That I'm not a fan of, especially for volunteer supplied content.

Extra thought on search: add a weighting option so individual servers can be searched, but don't come up as high in the rankings. So keeping with the superhero theme, have the Flash comic wiki with a 1 weighting and the more general DC comic and Arrowverse wikis with 0.8 weightings.
