Unfortunately, when I was testing I discovered that Wikia's API for WAM data doesn't allow outside AJAX requests that are needed to retrieve the data. I've tried other methods (JSONP, putting it into an iframe), but so far browser security restrictions and/or strict MIME type checking are blocking everything.

I reported this issue as a bug to Wikia, but all the support agent told me was "I'll look into it" and that Wikia was planning to overhaul WAM rankings "soon" so my script would break eventually anyway. Based on this response and that there probably aren't a lot of other people trying to make this API request, I'm guessing this issue isn't much of a priority for them.

However, there is another API request that I can make (which I tested) that will retrieve only the WAM score, but not the WAM rank. Perhaps I can set it up to log the scores to show changes in WAM over time.

When/if Wikia actually does fix the issue, I will update the script to show rankings.
