Councilors definitely don't get paid; they don't even get special rights. They are just a group of users that have access to Fandom's test wiki so they can provide feedback on features/changes before Fandom rolls them out to the rest of us. Community Council (the name of the group) is composed of a variety of users both new and veteran. It is the only global user group you can request to be added to.

This is not quite true ("they don't even get special rights")... Councilors often get access to dev wikis that otherwise only staff can see and get asked for feedback on features before they debut (sometimes killing the feature). They also have access to the councilors only wiki.

Also almost all of them are experienced admins (maybe all, but I haven't checked the list lately).
