Hey! The admin right is one that's granted for individual wikis. If you're interested in becoming an admin on a wiki, there's two steps.


 * 1) First, you'd appeal to the community. Users with the "bureaucrat" right can turn other people into admins (and bureaucrats). Find bureaucrats via Special:ListUsers on the wiki in question (here's a few bureaucrat lists: Naruto Wiki, Bleach Wiki.) Different wikis do it different ways: the bureaucrat might direct you to a forum where you can file a request for the community to discuss.
 * 2) Second, if there are no active bureaucrats on the wiki, you can file an adoption request. Wikia Staff will check your request: if your contributions are good and your request meets the adoption guidelines (visible on that page), you will be made administrator and bureaucrat of the wiki. You can't really adopt a major wiki like Naruto or Bleach, though. It's for less-active ones.

Even if you're turned down for admin rights, you should always remember that you don't need admin rights to be a healthy contributor to a wiki. You don't need any ascended rights at all!
