A lot of it comes down to whether we have contacts we can pursue for Official Wiki status. If we don't have any relevant contacts and the wiki admins can't make introductions for us, the best we can do is "cold call" a studio, which has mixed results.

If a wiki is for something which we have great contacts on and there's a great opportunity there, they'll get priority over a wiki for something where we don't have any contacts and it's not a great opportunity. For example, an older game with no updates is probably not a great opportunity for the community if it gets Official Wiki recognition well after the studio has moved on, but might be a good opportunity if it leads to recognition for new titles from the studio.
