It's a wiki. I think fixing the wiki would be easier than starting over from scratch. For beginners, there is even a "getting started" section with some decent starter tips. It's easy enough for any community-edited page to become "a mess", all it takes is a lot of "drive by editing" and not enough long-term maintainers.

I can't argue with that. But most of the time the ads are normal easily ignored banner ads. And you can create an account and log in to hide most of those.
