Okay, so I've gotten a reply from a staff member on my message from XD1's message wall on the community central wiki. It wasn't XD1 himself as he's not involved with the wiki anymore, he's only got it started.

The following message's been copy/pasted off XD1's wall:

Sannse Hi,

Scott's not involved in the wiki now, he just created it to get it started :)

There's no problem with adding new admins, if the community (including the admin) can agree on them, staff can flip the switch. We'll also do so on request from the current admin. I think more admins would be a good idea generally, it's clear the wiki is growing

It's good to hear that Paul has removed protection from various articles, that sounds like a positive move, and one that shows he's listening to what others have said. There are just three articles fully protected now, that's a reasonable number

On policies, I would suggest that you start to create some - with Paul's input of course. Once you have something that it seems everyone can agree on, you can introduce them fully to the wiki.

Overall, this is really about two different ideas on what the wiki should be. Both are valid, but it may be hard to reconcile them. That's something you are all going to have to work on together. an hour ago   Okay, so if the general idea is that the wiki should have more admins, we should decide together on who the admins should be, and I'll take it back to Sannse, and she'd give the selected users the rights. Though we'd need the general wiki (preferably registered users) and Paul's approval on the selected few.

As for policies, once we get an administration team up and running, we should have the team decide on the new policies and then share them with the wiki by putting them up on a voting forum, so that the wiki can give their input on the policies, and they could vote for or against them.

If you disagree with anything, then feel free to leave a comment below, and share your concerns.
