Well people are not motivated to edit because:

1They no longer care about badges, think badges take an astronomical amount of work to earn,  or just realized they do no good.

2 Their favorite projects already have pages.

3 They don't know how to make pages, but don't want to take the time to learn.

4 People formerly (and wrongly) believed that user rights were rewards for doing stuff around the wiki. Now that people no longer have that idea, and nominations for everything have pretty much closed, they no longer feel that editing benifits them or their agenda.
