As an admin on a pretty big wikia wiki (the DC Database), I think it's not so much that we need more independence as we want more powerful features and tools, but are denied them when we ask - because those tools are too advanced for the majority of users. It's inconvenient, but we make do. We have a decent relationship with Wikia, and we can only hope that they listen to our communities' voices when big change comes along, and that those big changes are changes we can lean into with excitement instead of doing our best to resist them.
