None of these wikis are specifically in Wikimedia’s interwiki map. Only WikiFur and Wookieepedia are.

Good guess, but that's not it. Wikia does have <a href="http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/New_skin" rel="nofollow">new skins</a> which are slowly being rolled out to all wikis. You can choose them in your <a href="http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Preferences" rel="nofollow">preferences</a> or via a <a href="http://events.wikia.com/?useskin=smoke&save=true" rel="nofollow">cookie</a> if you're not logged in. Until the roll-out is complete, different wikis have different defaults and new users might see a different skin to existing users. A clue is in one of the categories for this blog post. Hi Phil.

There seems to be some irregularity over whether i get the "new default skin" when I log in: on a couple I did, on another I was presented with Monobook. There doesn't seem to be a preference item for "whatever the current default is". New skins?

There seems to be some irregularity over whether i get the “new default skin” when I log in: on a couple I did, on another I was presented with Monobook.

There doesn’t seem to be a preference item for “whatever the current default is”.
