I guess you don't have to get it. I just mentioned that site as an example because it is kind of garbage, but it's useful for fans.
And the federation between fandoms would be like how different articles are connected on Wikipedia. For example, there are actors that had roles both in the Star Trek universe and the Star Wars universe.
Lots of those fan wikis just link to other websites. It's entirely possible to do that.
If you're on a Star Trek wiki, why would you want to go to a page that's almost exclusively talking about Star Wars information in relation to some actor other?
I was pointing out that the two fandoms are actually connected by some actors because the person I was responding to seemed to be unaware.
Maybe no one does this, but I've looked at character pages and clicked on actors' pages if I liked them and wanted to see what other work they've done.
