No it's not. As it reads at the bottom of every WikiAnswers page, "part of the Answers.com network." WikiAnswers is owned and operated by the makers of Answers.com, Answers Corporation.
No, wikianswers is not inferior to yahoo answers.

Wikianswers.
No,it is not.
yahoo answers is much bigger.
As of 2009, no, Yahoo Answers still has more traffic. However, WikiAnswers has been steadily gaining.
Your ID to your Yahoo! Messenger is the first part of your email. EXP: If WikiAnswers had an email account with Yahoo! Wiki's Messenger ID would look like this: wikianswers Because their email would probably be: wikianswers@yahoo.com But theirs is at answers.com
Yahoo! Answers is also a good site, other than WikiAnswers. But I recommend WikiAnswers over Yahoo! Answers. WikiAnswers is the best Q&A site and it has the best community. Yahoo! Answers isn't always correct, as well, and you cannot change the answers or spellings on there. On WikiAnswers, you can edit about everything to make the site better. Yahoo! Answers you can't, and it is a poor Q&A site.
Quite simply, WikiAnswers does not want to follow Yahoo! Answers, or any other Q&A website.
WikiAnswers' popularity has risen over the past few years, and has surpassed Yahoo! Answers in the last quarter of 2009.
WikiAnswers, actually, is more popular. Recently, WikiAnswers has surpassed Yahoo! in visitors (WikiAnswers was already superior quality wise).View the related link below, and view the second graph in the related link to see why WikiAnswers is more popular.
Yahoo! Answers was released to the public in December 2005. A site called FAQFarm was founded in 2002. This FAQFarm eventually evolved into WikiAnswers, so WikiAnswers is technically older than Yahoo! Answers.
