Gif files have a tendency to conflict with slower internet connections, and the more that get added, the worse it gets. We used to allow them on RangerWiki, then watched as users piled up on the gifs on pages causing page loadtime to increase drastically, in addition to it being cluttery. So we did away with them and don't really allow them (none have tried to use them either). Server-side I can't say, Wikia would be the ones to know. But I know that I for one am not in favor of using them.
