Something like that is determined by the course of history. If the rest of the population deems it a good replacement for encyclopedic, it will replace encyclopedic, or be used at a level on par with encyclopedic.
The best example I can think of is the word gay. The Christmas carol lyric, "Don we now our gay apparel" did not mean gay the way we use it today. It's not up to individuals to decide what Wikipedic could mean or the connotations it has. It's up to the general population. And HN is a very focused niche of the general population, so not necessarily representative of the general population.
I'm just saying who knows? You might change your mind one day.
