A user was kind enough to suggest supporting personal wikis. These are standalone wikis that are entirely created and edited by a user. A reddit thread was created and there looks like there's some interest in the worldbuilding community:
<b>New 2017-02 wikis</b>: I'm almost done uploading 2017-02 English Wikipedia, but am waiting on archive.org to release some things. I've hit a snag in terms of building new wikis as my Linux box is effectively broken. I'm going to rebuild it this week, but that may set me back
</li>
<li>
<b>Shrinking XOWA wikis</b>: I'll also release a deletion database for 2017-02 English Wikipedia. The final size of images should be around 92 GB
</li>
<li>
<b>Personal wikis</b>: Depending on feedback from others, I may work on personal wiki features.
<b>A new page to show any pending updates</b> : This can be reached by doing Help -> Update XOWA or by going to <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Special:XowaAppUpdate.html"id="xolnki_16"title="Special:XowaAppUpdate"class="xowa-visited">Special:XowaAppUpdate</a>

XOWA had only minimal support for images in Wikia wikis. However, as a result of tickets <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/124"rel="nofollow"class="external text">#124</a> and <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/125"rel="nofollow"class="external text">#125</a>, the following changes were made:
<b>Images in the File namespace will now show</b>: For example, <ahref="https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/File:Keyboard_shortcuts.svg"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/File:Keyboard_shortcuts.svg</a> . Note that clicking on an image here will also open it up in the image viewer.
<b>File names with spaces are automatically renamed to use underscores</b>: For example, <code>SpellIcon PsionicBlast.png</code> will be renamed to <code>SpellIcon_PsionicBlast.png</code>
<b>SVG thumbnails will now use ".png" instead of ".svg"</b>: For example, "C:\xowa\file\nethackwiki.com\thumb\8\3\f\d\Keyboard_shortcuts.svg\800px.png"
<b>View HTML will now show the img src and width info</b>: For example, <img id="xoimg_1" alt="File%3AKeyboard+shortcuts.svg" src="file:///D:/xowa_temp/file/nethackwiki.com/thumb/8/3/f/d/Keyboard_shortcuts.svg/800px.png" width="800" height="293" />
<b>Images are now integrated directly into the app file cache</b>: See <code>home/wiki/Special:XowaCfg?grp=xowa.files.general</code>. This means that a separate thumbs directory is no longer generated
<b>A startup script is no longer needed</b>: No startup script is needed at <code>home/wiki/Special:XowaCfg?grp=xowa.app.startup</code>. XOWA now automatically assumes that all non-WMF wikis will have offline files in the wiki directory. For example, <code>C:\\xowa\\wiki\\your_wiki\\file\\orig\\</code>
<b>Updated instructions</b>: Instructions were updated at <ahref="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Wiki_types/Wikia.com"rel="nofollow"class="external free">http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Wiki_types/Wikia.com</a>
This was reported in issue #121: <ahref="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/121"rel="nofollow"class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/121</a>
<spanclass="mw-headline"id=".28PC.29_Add_Creative_Commons_footer_to_bottom_of_page">(PC) Add Creative Commons footer to bottom of page</span>
</h3>
<p>
This was a minor request made by Ope30 also. Pages will now show the Creative Commons footer at the bottom of the page. I also redesigned the footer as well.
<b>Shrinking XOWA wikis</b>: I'm going to try to reduce the size of the XOWA wikis. Among other things, I'm planning to remove obsolete images (images once used, but since removed) and also do some configurable downloads for Category / other namespaces
