User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Tips for becoming an admin/@comment-1709282-20121206182716

I would definitely agree that the way to become an admin is not to try too hard to become an admin. Just enjoy contributing to your wiki. If you do good work, you will get rewarded, one way or another. I would also advise users not to just say, "Make me an admin" to a bureaucrat. That just makes you look power hungry.
