Saying Fandom staff "will have no choice but..." will not get you anywhere and will probably only give yourself false hope. A wiki for the topic does exist, even if it's not updated. You can start editing on that and eventually adopt it, which would solve the "inactive staff" and "broken redirects" issues you mentioned. New wikis will get closed in favor of older (already created) wikis about the same topic. Recreating a wiki that has been closed over and over will not bring you anywhere, and will only take up much of your time. If you need the database dump, you could try to wait a few days to see if it becomes available, or you can use Special:Contact to tell them that the database dump of the closed wiki is not working.
