Does it cost anything to make a wiki with Wikia?

Nope, its free to create a Wiki on Wikia.

Here is a link on how to make one.

OFFICIAL. Somebody who is not active claimed the URL and name for Universe Sandbox on wikia.

There's already this one: http://universesandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Universe_Sandbox_Wiki

It's not official, but anyone can edit it. I don't remember who made it, possibly Atomic. In any case people can still edit it, and I guess Dan could make it official if it becomes good.

Wouldn't it be better if Dan just made a wiki on this server, so we get wiki.universesandbox.com ?

Some lowlife is admin, so we can't change a lot of things since the lowlife isn't active. That's the problem.

That's my point. He's the only admin, and he is not active at all.

I can ask him to make you admin on it, if Dan doesn't want to make an official wiki.

Yeah... this is something I'm interested in setting up.

Any thoughts on the best wiki software or hosted solution to use?

MediaWiki.

It's what Minecraft uses, and it's really popular.

Wikia is pretty much the same. It just sets-up the whole MediaWiki for you, and hosts it on Wikia.

But the directory for wikia is taken. That's the problem.

Wikia uses a different underlying wiki software than MediaWiki.

Here's a great site to compare the different options:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/

We need a history page, either on WYSIWYG, no on commercial support, either on hosting...

Can't you just download the MediaWiki software and make wiki.universesandbox.com ? Of course, we would update the Wiki even though it's still on your server. I would love that!
