I think the forums is not the right place to post this, you'd probably be better off contacting them. Though I doubt they'll do anything, it's not against the rules, that I know of, to make a wiki and go afk for a while; only inconsiderate. You'll likely have to wait like everyone else to adopt the wiki after they've been inactive for 60 days. My suggestion is to stay there and keep editing. As a regular user, there's still a lot you can do to keep the wiki on course. They don't seem to have blocked any of the major pages from regular users, and it seems you all have already tried to do something to the main page, so there is still some level of "decorating and tidying up" you can do to the front page as well.

As motivation, here is a wiki whose front page uses almost nothing but templates to design it. I think there are those that would advise against using a template within a template, and I'm not saying the only way to make the front page look good is with templates. But the point I was trying to make was that, if Wikia decides not to step in for whatever reason, you and other dedicated editors still have enough tools at your disposal to make that wiki look good and work fairly well. You may not be able to add a fancy theme or delete spam pages or unnecessary pages, but you have enough to keep the wiki in good standing. Especially with the addition of insights, you'll be able to see some of those things that will help it look better.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm telling you to give up, but it doesn't sound extreme. Especially since it seems they only have three days left before they're considered inactive. It'd probably be best to ask a staff member if it's okay to send an adoption request this early.
