My guess is that Wikipedia's tag generates HTML that displays multiple uses of the same reference as letters, whereas Wikia's references tag generates HTML that displays them as numbers. In which case, there is no easy way to change that.

To confirm what's actually happening, I would suggest using the form at Special:Contact/general to ask about it. Someone from the Community Support Team will respond with a more definitive answer.
