 * I think you hit the nail on the head with "Do you even edit the wikis?". I'm pretty sure they don't.  [...] That's why so much of this process has been a nightmare for real contributors. 

Yep, agreed. The way they're going about it, the best possible outcome is:
 * Some features do not measure up to old features
 * Admins/users have to spend time fixing their templates and pages, for reasons forced upon them.
 * Things that people have built using possibilities of the old system that had no reason to assume they would go unsupported, will remain broken

Yes, that's the "best" scenario. The worst case is that because of the above, a group of people with vast knowledge about their specific topic will leave fandom behind, creating a knowledge and administrative resource drain that the platform cannot overcome.
