Sorry, if this is about Wikia, then count me out.

Wikia allows anyone to create a wiki by simply
following a simple form and
filling in some basic information. Once that's done, you can start working
on your new wiki.
Their own rules allow the hosting of anything except adult content (i.e. -
pornographic) like most other wiki services. They are completely ad
supported, so there is no cost to host a wiki.
They will install several extensions by request, including Semantic
MediaWiki and several extensions (albeit somewhat older versions), but they
only have Monobook as the other skin besides the Oasis skin, and they
otherwise don't allow much in the way of customization, especially anything
that might interfere with the placement of ads on a site wide basis.

hosting service?
I was always under the impression that Wikia *approves* sites.
You can't just have them host anything you want, they have to agree to
it.
Is that not the case?
Also would you know what they charge?

There is always Wikia. They're a few versions behind, but host a TON of
wikis
already. You can even have them enable various
extensions (like Semantic
Bundle).

This would be interesting for my little farm, I have the time to put into
it but not the needed "know how" to fix issues, install some extensions
etc, but as Wjhonson states it would have to be adorable to those users.
