It wouldn't be too hard to allow admins to continue making new posts in closed threads. In fact, admins can still edit posts in closed threads. You could also probably use abusefilter to limit the discussion to users with a specific account age or group.

But I do agree with others that's kind of anti-wiki.

I like this idea and once proposed it to staff, they don't seem particularly interested in it. Considering that this can be achieved with the dpl forums.

Sticky threads are good and can probably be achieved by adding it to a MediaWiki message. Assuming that they aren't locked.

I disagree with this. The idea should be to use less code not more.

Anyway, one good idea would be to implement some Javascript gadget that adds some of these tools, and then ask staff to evaluate it. It is somewhat hard to see the benefit of abstract ideas. In fact, quite  a few features have actually been first implemented as Javascript tools, in dev.wikia or wikipedia  and later adopted by staff as "new features", e.g. lua infobox builder or "related pages" / see also.
