Duplicate content hurts the SEO of whoever copies it. Additionally, who wants to go to a wiki when all the content is just copied from another wiki/source. As a reader finding the same exact content is annoying. Based off these, copying content is not good for the wiki. The only reason I would say doing so might be okay is if you copied something that has some relevance to the wiki but not enough that the fan base will likely actively expand (ie. a voice actor). Even so, it's something I would avoid.
