True threats are definitely illegal, yes, this is an established limitation of freedom of speech, but that is not quite the primary topic of this thread. And "words which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" I don't totally see how that could be incurred on Wikia. The famous example is "Yelling fire in a crowded theater", which is hard to draw a parallel to on Wikia.

"Public schools and the military can determine the extent of use of profanity without violating the first amendment." This is true as well, but it's only noteworthy because those are extensions of the government, so it is a legitimate question whether they should have the authority to censor profanity... the court has decided yes. It does not matter here because Wikia is a private organization and thus has no legal obligation to censor profanity.
