Dev.wiki is one of the few wikis that we should trust. For starters it is a wiki that is actively controlled by Wikia staff.

Unfortunately, this is not a fact. At Community Connect, Wikia staff told me in person that they do not control or regularly patrol dev.wikia.com. And trust is an issue, just maybe not for you. You need to take the perspective of someone newer to wikis and MediaWiki wikis.

It would be really neat if you could see a list of wikis that import a particular page through importArticles and the like. That would display trust if you see a lot of popular wikis using a script, so that people who can't tell what the code does still have an indicator that it is safe.
