Wikia Staff aren't volunteers, they're paid employees. Most work in one of Wikia's several offices, some work at home. However, those people have useful skills (mostly technical), so send in an application and cross your fingers. See this page.

VSTF is unpaid work, but you can't apply. People are chosen by staff and VSTF when there's a vacancy. See this page.
