Any wiki you have admin rights to will have a visible admin dashboard (found at Special:AdminDashboard), you won't be able to get to the dashboard here because you're not admin. However, if you make your own wiki (http://www.wikia.com/Special:CreateNewWiki), you will be able to get to the dashboard there, because as founder you become the first admin and bureaucrat (that doesn't give you access to the admin dashboard here, it's wiki-specific).
