I am a self proclaimed wiki-phile, I always donated when I could. It was kind of like going to the library without the fresh book smell.

So your complaint is that it’s really difficult for unknown users, unfamiliar with the rules and conventions, to make edits to wikipedia? Gotta be honest that sounds… like not exactly the worst situation for it to be in.
You can be as familiar with the rules as you want as long as you haven’t done specific song and dance that specific editor likes to see before editing you aren’t allowed to do it. They are vicious and will delete an article itself if you will try and raise a fuss, under a pretence of topic not being notable. Not a complaint, there is systemic issue in wikipedia and it’s getting worse, while wikipedia acknowledges that it exists they do nothing about it.
Have you seen an ad about wikipedia needing new contributors even once?
