You bring in some interesting ideas. I think having standard procedures for starting threads would be a great idea. In terms of sorting alphabetically, I'm afraid that's impossible. Same with the color coded lights. The biggest problems is the fact that much of the wiki's functionality rests on the wiki software already installed and maintained by Wikia. As such, there isn't much I can do to alter the default behaviours.

Stickying threads is something I would definitely like to be able to do. Since the wiki forums are still a test feature from Wikia technically, they haven't implemented stickys yet. I've heard that may be implemented at a later date.

As for the Topic section, basically you type in article titles which the thread is about. For example, if you start a thread asking for Atar's price, the topic would have Atar, Tyrannical Darklord. That way, when someone looks up the card, they'll see a link to the forum thread at the bottom of the article. The topic fills in automatically if you start typing words, so you can just select it once you see a relevant article.

You bring in some nice ideas. Some of them may be worth exploring for Wikia's software team. If you want, you can submit some of your ideas to Wikia for them to consider in the future. Sorting alphabetically, and color codes may be something they can implement in the forum code.

At this point, the only thing we can really pursue is setting a standard for thread titles.
