I agree with OP stating that 400 edits is a bit too much. To tell whether 400 edits is too much or too less, it depends on the context, specifically, we need to figure out if the platform provides enough opportunity and convenience to achieve that particular goal. Let's say, getting ToS at the price of $5 may sounds nothing to most of you here, but for me, in my country, it's almost my expense for a day, due to currency exchange and average income of citizen. $5 to get a game is consider expensive and luxurious in my life context because my living environment doesn't support enough resource for me to afford it. The same rule applies. 400 edits is nothing on a super large active community as long as you're willing to contribute. There are always discussions going on. Contests and events everywhere. However, look at the state of our wiki right now, there's barely any serious discussion. We're getting less role idea day by day. DoTW dies. The only board alive is F&G, and it is now filled with meaningless spam. This wiki is getting dull and colorless. Not only role reviewing issue you mentioned is driving new users away, it is this wiki isn't an attractive place to start with. Even though some new enthusiastic users come by, have time and energy to contribute, but there's no legit place to do so. Idle mind is the workshop of devil, they say. It's true. Look at all kind of mess users have done lately. The cycle goes like this: What do you do when you need edit? Start a thread then. What thread is the easiest to harvest edit? F&G. That's it. Ban spamming useless thread? How long does it takes to reach 400 edits? 400 edits is something stellar for new users at this rate, without spamming F&G board, then what wiki offers to keep user's interest before reaching 400 edits? 400 edits is no big deal, when you keep creating reason for people to stay, and have enough materials to spark discussion. We don't ask for 101% when there is only 100% to score. My suggestions are simple and vague: Make number of user edit to be eligible voter flexible, encourage discussion, revive DoTW, or creates event.

Regarding role reviewing issue, I have a thesis length speech to say to both creators and reviewers. Generally, it is a both-sided issue, but for our part as reviewer, I think I can agree with OP. Creators can post it on Official Forum right away, have the more experienced forumers to give better and accurate review, but they still come here for advice, that's the thing we need to appreciate for.
