Just because Wikia uses a forked version doesn't mean they can't incorporate updates. As open source freeware, MediaWiki is open for anyone to customize and update (for their own use) as they like. It isn't like licensed software such as Microsoft Office where the only way to get updates is to change to newer versions.
