This seems like a little split topic post; so I have split responses.

Yes, I do feel that editors are like the missing link across multiple wikis I have very few in total that I have worked with in the past 10 years on some 0-2ish editor(s). I have challenged this with my newest wiki by making it cover multiple subjects of a similar parent topic. I absorbed abandoned wikis' information (up to 3 now) and could even say it could be split into at least 8 smaller wikis. It will be a year old in May, with over 7,000 pages, views range in the 100s to over 1k+ daily and it's recurring on WAM a good portion of the time.

And all I had was 1 other editor for a short time and I encouraged and tried to help them feel like a valuable member and even referred to them over wiki decisions. Basically, some wiki genres are harder to get interest in than others even if it is viewed a lot. I think some people (since I found many abandoned wikis on the subject) really want to work on the topic but eventually get discouraged being the only editor or having trouble finding information that may be only found by the brand/company/etc. However, if wikis (which some wikis have been) had access to reps of the official brand/company/etc. it would/could entice editors to have a connection with the topic that they can't get anywhere else - and stay or become a part of the wiki community.

Ref:New Source Editor

I am very disappointed with new source editor first it should not be js that slows down mass and multiple editing at an almost nauseating rate. Plus the pretending to look like visual editor pop up window takes up space that was used for editing. I have mentioned this in feedback threads already but really I have not heard much positive feed back on how source edit is improved by being js and smaller editing space at all in the UCP. Some editors have been trying to disable the js to force a tolerable source editor format which could lead to other complications- so maybe new source editor needs to be re-worked people are willing to disable js to have a workable source editor. That says something is wrong and I dread the change over- over this issue alone.
