"How are younger and new Wikians supposed to be able to manage interwiki navigation?"

Google + bookmarks seem to work just fine? People find Wikia in the first place using a search engine, and they probably have a habit of using it. Logically speaking, they will continue to use their favored search engine to find "new" sites or topics. But, they'll use Wikia's search when looking for pages on one particular wiki itself.

Speaking for myself, at least, I discovered Wikipedia long before Wikia. It took me 1 month of using the same Wikia wiki before I came to realize that Wikia was actually a company and that they have a network of wikis, and that this was just 1 particular wiki making up part of that network. And half a year later, I wasn't even aware that Wikia's search could be used for interwiki navigation. I never thought to even try it before. I just use bing.
