Well, having administrator rights is a huge help. Not only can you delete articles, images, and other things you do not want, you can edit MediaWiki pages, and better enhance your wiki.

Now, you are right that becoming an administrator should not be a priority. But, it certainly helps to have the extra rights. ^_^
