"The Site is not and shall not function as an archive. We have no liability to you or any other person for loss, damage, or destruction to your content. You are solely responsible at your sole cost and expense for creating backup copies and replacing any content you post or store on the Service or provide to us." Furthermore they note .:

"You understand and agree that others may, but are not obligated to, edit, delete or remove (without notice) any content from the Service, for any reason or no reason."

Which again proves my point. It doesn't particularly matter if someone is admin or bureaucrat. Also note that most staff aren't lawyers, so they may give their interpretation of the TOU, and Wikia Lawyers aren't obligated to give any legal advice to random users.
