Here's my current take on all this:
 * Removal of chain of command articles - I don't think this is entirely necessary to do. It may be interesting to know how different species organize themselves.  Of course, I agree that this isn't something that should be heavily emphasized.
 * Reducing scale size - If there's any change we should do, it is this one. To the rest of you, that's reducing empires that have system counts in the tens of thousands to a mere few dozen.  As mentioned in the other thread, having fewer colonized systems makes individual systems a lot more meaningful.  The large scale has actually been a source of my writer's block - it's extremely difficult to create a new location when in the end, it's just another, average place with nothing special.  So Ave, the size of the AIUD would not need to be changed.
 * Limits of FTL - I support this. Having slower travel makes the galaxies seem much larger than before, giving a sense of adventure.  The speeds listed on the methods of space travel page are actually arbitrary, designed to fit an outdated time of the wiki.  (To put into perspective, it currently takes a mere two weeks to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.  A lot of the in between stuff is being missed, isn't it?)  Also, Stone Rings would have a lot more significance with slower FTL.  Finding artifacts like that becomes a lot more meaningful to the story.
 * Article navigation for planets - Sounds good. There might be a few other things to work out, but we can get to that later.
 * Karnasaurs as precursors - I've been slowly trying to nudge the wiki in this direction, so it's only natural that we do this.
 * Kklxin threat - I do agree we should have the Kklxin as a fairly new (but probably not brand new) threat as they've been overshadowed by other antagonists. It would be nice if we revived them.
 * Accessible Sol - I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are suggesting that we move the date of the War on Gaea back?  It seems fine as it is, but I would like to know more about this.
 * History organization - Yes, we need to work on this.
 * Critical small scale - I've been keen on making the Karalian capital planets (such as Ucharpli and Krar) more important, and the smaller scale would help out. Let's be honest.  How often do we really write about or even reference the in-between areas?  Is it not just extra fluff to make the empires seem bigger than they really are?
 * Relocation of Domum Regimen - I agree. It seemed kind of odd that the capital of the Galactic Senate was so far away from EIT and Karalian territory.
 * Set present day - Still not 100% sure about this mainly due to the split opinion of the community.
 * Common trade language - This was one idea I've had for a while, but I've never really found a good way to implement it until now. I would imagine that members of the Galactic Senate would follow this, but not necessarily the more distant factions.
 * Purging guides - I don't agree with outright deleting these. I still refer to them on occasion when designing star systems and other content.  It might be best if we revamp them to be in the style of reference articles rather than step-by-step guides.
 * Purging inactive content - I would only support deleting the stub pages and low quality articles. Some of the better content such as the Triangulum Galaxy can definitely be adopted and re-imagined by new users just as we did with the Large Magellanic Cloud.  Not to mention, it's new writing material to work with.
 * Summarize info on the front page - We need to do this.

In conclusion, we do really need to change this wiki as it's starting to show its age again. The good thing is that many of these changes actually won't require a lot of retconning when you think about it. At the most, it's just a few sentence and digit changes.
