Don't think it's really necessary. The different wikis don't really need to talk to each other. But an open source Gamepedia-like wiki software would be great. Maybe it exists already.
Wiki.gg is very good though.
The problem is mostly google search results get dominated by fandom due to longterm trust in the "brand" that google provides to these corporations whether or not they produce garbage. If a federation can provide value that helps new wikis gain visibility in search results then it would provide considerable value over others.
That’s a separate issue from federation altogether. Federation might have some benefits, but I don’t see “crowding out Fandom with SEO” as one of them.
