Anyone who wants to come back won't care what rights they have. If they really care that much, then they'll come back when you tell them that the wiki has been cleaned of junk and now needs contributors. If not, CM won't help them come back, and they'll just ignore it.

I'd focus on getting new editors instead of making the old ones come back. There are at least two hundred people searching "smash hit" on YouTube and actively wanting to do things with Smash Hit. Sure, you can't get every one of those 200+ people to edit, but there are probably more of those who would be willing to work on the wiki than already edit here.
