Well, picking modules from this listwill make more sense, since they clearly list which modules are ready for use in separate categories. From then it is simply a matter of testing them out and debugging the incompatibility with wikia's mediawiki version.

Perhaps as a way to standarize conversions the accompanying documentation/module itself should always include the mediawiki version it is intended to be used as well as the current mediawiki version (e.g. from mw.site.currentVersion). It seems prudent that they should be hosted here and updated as needed because they could simply be deleted in wikipedia or have changes that would render them unusable.

As far as compatibility is concerned, the only problem is that wikia doesn't keep up with mediawiki's updates, so we are still using version 1.19.23 whereas the latest mw version at the time of this writing is v 1.25. So converting is merely using alternate api calls or creating functions that don't currently exist in wikia.
