I think the "if you think you can do better" is not a very good reason to start a duplicate. On popular wikis, you could just adopt a more inactive one (since, you see, there's probably already 20 of each...) even if the URL is not exactly what you want. On less popular wikis, there will be less contributors so if you do your best you will likely be made an admin. Besides, even if you're not made an admin, your edits will show that you are making the wiki better and your suggestions will be listened to.

But I still agree that it should be discouraged to make duplicate wikis (or encouraged to edit the existing ones on the same topic, rather) -- and not forbidden. That would be basically against the idea of making Wikia open as it is now (:
