For a wiki of the size and reach of the pywiki to attract only ~ 20 new Editors in all of 2017 is an abysmal failure. The people responsible for this disaster are the wiki admins of course (Lemburg et. al.), who run the place as if they were bosses of it and they owned the wiki like a cotton

- the wiki was clearly worse quality when edits were not slightly restricted, because pages kept getting splattered with auto-added debris full of links some might call unsavory and nobody would argue were "off topic" - "dead links" has been a bit of a sensitive topic, as many times people report
