Upon clicking said adress, there is usualy an abandoned wiki with just a handful of pages that haven't been edited in months. It would seem to me that these types of wikis should be detected and removed automaticaly to free up the adresses for new wikis -- yet, they are not.

Adoption for theese dead wikis is seemingly the only answer -- and that is both a pain, and ultimatly not helpful as it does not allow the adress to be re-worked to fit a new, and possibly more engaging topic.

FANDOM prefers inactive wikias to remain open in the case someone with an interest in the topic a certain wiki holds can remodel or help it flourish once again.

As for your last sentence, you can remodel the wikia to fit a new and more engaging topic. You can adopt it, and while your adoption request is waiting to be seen, you can add new pages of the new content you want, and, once you have admin rights, delete the pages of the old content and remodel the wikia's themes. I have seen and did the same process with two wikis I have adopted - my Siren and Confederate Wikis. Sure it might seem like a pain, but it's worth it as you aren't really starting off on the bottom.
