Well, Staff do look for active users on the wiki. For instance, if you are invited to attend Wikia Community Connect (where Staff invite admins from wikis), you'll be granted Wikia Star rights afterward.

Wikia will invite users there who have shown dedication and commitment to their wiki. I'm sure they have more criteria than I know, so I can't give you an absolute answer. But being active both behind the scenes and on the wiki certainly helps.
