Depends where you want to become an admin. For existing wikis, in most communities, admins are chosen from dedicated editors. So if your end goal is to be an admin, you've got to make sure you're a prolific editor who takes part in community discussion and support. However, even that is no sure fire way - a community has to actually need an extra admin.

My advice would be, don't try to become an admin - just make sure you're a good editor, and maybe, just maybe, you'll be made an admin.

The alternative, which you have already done I see, is create your own wiki. However, that only makes you an admin on that wiki - and if it's a small wiki without a clear community or goal, that's a pretty empty title.
