Just as a note, I was able to do some edits at Wikia last night with AWB. So it may have been a momentary glitch. I'll try again tonight when I get home and report back on the results but it will be late.

Does different Wikia-wikis have different configs?

@Josve05a, they can but generally they use a default one. I checked tonight and AWB seems to be working on wikia.military for both my username and my bot. I'm an admin, so I guess its possible that could be a factor, but as far as I can tell its working fine so it must be a setting on that wiki.
