Until the remaining/new community can decide what they want for the wiki, it will need to remain in its original state. They made this wikia's future, and it's here: Wikizilla.org Exactly.

The current community exists on Wikizilla.org now, and that's the way it shall be.

And according to Wikipedia, its the dicsion of the current community what happens to the site:

In June 2008, Wikia adopted a new  skin,  Monaco, intending to implement it as the default on almost all hosted wikis. [50]  Many wiki users felt the choice of skin default should remain their own. The switch went ahead, but some wikis retained  Monobook as their default. In September 2008, the Transformers Wiki moved content to their own server, citing the format-altering ads and mandatory changes as reasons for their departure. [51] [52]  WikiFur moved likewise in August 2009; [53] the  Nethack wiki moved in November 2010, [54]  and the  Doom wiki in September 2011. <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-57" style="font-size:11.2px;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">[55]

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">The same thing is happening here. Wikis are toatally allowed to move to their own sites, and those sites, and therefore it is the decision of the owners of the new site on what may or may not be done with the content of the site. In this case, I can't imagine the owners of wikipedia.org would be happy with Wikia undeleting the articles, and it seems to me like it's totally within their right to prevent you from doing that.
