I confess, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at here, or why it is a problem particularly. I know you wanted to re-purpose that wiki to what you feel is its true intent, but the fact is that it is very active in its current state.

Wikis are intended to be community projects; they reflect the common goals and content choices of everybody there, not simply those of one person. Admins/bureaucrats and even founders, are simply members of that community with some extra tools, and ideally are responsive to the wishes of the community rather than making arbitrary choices about things.

Have you considered simply creating a new wiki, eg. "New Ideas Wiki" to be the kind of idea wiki you envision? Generally when you disagree so fundamentally with the goals of a current wiki community it is far happier for everybody if you just start a new one instead.
