Shrev, you got it. Admins and bureaucrats can access the Admin Dashboard by clicking on "Admin" in the floating toolbar. The "Admin" link in the toolbar will sit next to the "Customize" link and will only be visible if you're on a wiki that you are an admin of. Currently the Advanced tab looks almost exactly the same as Special:SpecialPages, but that's just the beginning. We want to add in some more features in the future that are helpful to more advanced admins, such as better stats and easier ways to access wikia.css.
