As indicated by a recent regression testing, action=logout has been removed from current Wikia release of MediaWiki API. This will cause the following exception when calling WikiSite.LogoutAsync for all Wikia sites on FANDOM.
WikiClientLibrary.InvalidActionException : unknown_action:Unrecognized value for parameter 'action': logout
From the information gathered, there is no pure MW API approach to just logout a user, and some workaround is inevitable.
c.f. Server-side logout procedure: https://github.com/Wikia/app/blob/4988ecbd6938a90f6f66fbc33cf31d63e720adcc/includes/User.php#L3155 (Thanks to fngplg)
