It has now been flagged as insecure because now Wikia doesn't trust admins anymore. And this has changed because some Wikia Staff were hacked by a rogue admin. Anyone could create a wiki and gain access to the direct injection which would have allowed the same type of attacks and all it would do is require the attacker to lure you to their wiki in order to compromise your account.

And frankly you should never have to worry about whether or not clicking a Wikia link is safe.
