Yeah, the difference seems to be that the Official Wiki seems to be the same vanilla software Wikipedia offers for free, whereas those hosted here on Wikia have access to an edited version of the software with the additional integrated features like the Chat, Blogs, Badges and Leaderboards. I know the Chat feature has been immensely useful at many wikis in particular.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've suspected for a while that the infoboxes (format and information) seem to have been mostly copied over from here, including at least one telltale error. (Mrs. McCormick being 25ish is based on inaccurate information that first appeared on Wikipedia.) My top priority at the Official Wiki has been trying to prevent copy/pasta efforts as often as possible and I always try to re-write articles there to keep them from being too similar. I've also talked to the other Wiki moderators to try to keep the same in mind. If any specific concerns come up, feel free to let me know!

I totally understand having this wiki as the top priority and I'm planning to start editing here again in the meantime myself. Happy to touch base!
