Cocktails Wiki - Instructions for drinks, recipes for your favorite beverage! Learn how to make alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails! - Wikia

I think a better answer would be to enforce a character limit on MediaWiki:Pagetitle (say 200 characters or less, allowing a parser string for the wiki name). Then, you could contact the admins on the wikis where it has been customized and encourage them to update it on their own.

As far as the whole " - Wikia" thing on the end... meh, that's the price of having a wiki hosted by Wikia. I may not think it looks good in all cases, but it's an acceptable cost for utilizing their service. Yeah, I don't mind the " - Wikia" thing. A character limit, I'd support, the RangerWiki pagetitle was 52 characters, so 100 is plenty.
