Have you ever thought of the Answers sites as an extension to your wiki? If the admin of the original wiki creates the new Answers site, it can develop effectively into a "companion" of sorts. It becomes effectively another part of the original.

The 490 "active" editors of the main Answers site are not interested in every single topic that pops up. Many are then not answered and then promptly forgotten. The smaller sites help in this respect because they can build up more specialised communities that do care about the subject matter of every question.
