I've had a similar experience with the chatroom, but then again, having regular project chats at least would let us know to expect people in the room at a certain time on certain days. It won't work for all situations, but at least it could increase the sense of community and encourage editors to comment on one another's talk pages directly.
(Omg, if you put your info on doujinshi up, it would be awesome. Please do that. Please.)
If you can find Kylara's work, that would be great! I do think many newbies are made nervous by wiki markup, even though in some ways it's easier to type than HTML. It's not quite as intuitive, perhaps, so it's a bit harder to remember until it becomes familiar.
We do have Anime & Manga-related terms under the Anime & Manga Fandom category, but many of those terms are also shared with other fandoms, such as J-Drama Fandom, Doujin Fandom, or AMV Fandom, and some of them are shared generally among all fandoms. That said, I would not object to a subcategory on Anime & Manga Fandom, once we have at least 15 pages to go in it.
(Note that translation-specific terms or Japanese-culture-specific terms may be in their own specific categories right now, and therefore may not show on the Anime & Manga pages, nor should they necessarily. We can point editors to those as related terminology, or we could even make a project list of terms we'd like to see added.)
Ok, I mocked up a basic quick-and-dirty tutorial for people already familiar with wikis, based very loosely on the wishlist. Here is the AMV section.
