You do indeed need to be an administrator of the wiki to enable the features. We won't really try to step around that, however you have a few options:
 * Ask one of the admins to enable the feature: while they haven't been editing the wiki recently, some have logged on to Wikia as recently as today and are likely to respond to your request.
 * Ask Sam1207 to make you into an administrator: he is a bureaucrat and has the capacity to do so if he feels it would be good.
 * The wiki is actually eligible for adoption, by which a user like appeals to Staff to get administrator rights on a wiki with no active administrators. I honestly recommend you try the above methods rather than adopt the wiki.
