Wikia will no longer install or support SMW.

Semantic MediaWiki is a powerful extension that helps users to search, organize, tag, browse, evaluate, and share a wiki's content. While traditional wikis contain only text which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, SMW adds semantic annotations that allow a wiki to function as a collaborative database.

Wikia can enable Semantic MediaWiki (and related extensions Semantic Forms and Semantic Drilldown) on request for wikis which have users on hand who know how to use it, or are willing to learn and provide support for others.

The extension is very flexible, which means that it has complicated aspects which take time to master. Wikia's Community Team cannot provide support on using it, but the Semantic-MediaWiki.org wiki provides a manual, mailing list and chatroom for finding help. See also help on Semantic Search.
