If you don't feel that way yet, then I'd just pretend this thread doesn't exist; since it runs off the assumption that we're not going to get 5-10 new active members, all posting to the forums and making edits, all within the next week.

To an extent, necromancy was annoying back when this wiki was getting dozens of edits each day. At the time of writing, this is the only thread not in necromancy territory; this rule just means we have to necro or repost any thread that we want to post on.

A similar case is the handful of rules added to deal with our noise/signal ratio. I personally never saw that as an issue (and I remember being fairly vocal about that at the time), but regardless we have basically no noise or signal anymore, so enforcing this isn't neccesary for people to find and make constructive posts; it's just additional clutter that new editors are obliged to read.

There's probably a handful of other things we should look at (guide system, our conversion to FE), but this is what I can think of right now. If the admins are still administrating here, I'd appreciate if some of these rules could be removed or changed, in an attempt to switch to some kind of "low power mode" for the wiki.

Because to put it bluntly, this wiki is still run (or at least the rules say it's run) in a way suited for a community that makes hundreds of edits a week. If we want to recover, the first step is probably to accept that we fell over in the first place. That sucks if this wiki ever dies we need to get it more popular! Somehow advertising?
