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.

As far as wikia commons is concerned. The best way to create the repository is a seamless integration into the current upload wizard by automatically uploading it to a common repository rather than locally and retrieving it the same way.

I totally agree with this. Hopefully Wikia can either inherit something WikiMedia has already done or they manage to do it themselves. Currently, the former seems more likely.
