A thousand pages isn't a small wiki. I wouldn't even say 500 is a small wiki. Regardless, a wiki doesn't need thousands of pages to be very active.

Controlling the number of bureaucrats is simple; place a restriction in the wiki's site policy. On one of the wiki's I'm active this number is capped at two.
