You don't have to be an administrator to upload new files. The ability to block users isn't given out to just anyone, that could cause major havoc on all of Wikia. Especially bureaucratic rights, that means you can appoint anyone to any position you want! If you really want to be an administrator, you should help out on forums, participate in discussion, and then you may be appointed chat mod or rollback, then possibly administrator. But you'll have to have way more edits than 50, possibly in the ballpark of a few thousand they might consider someone for administrative rights. There are only 7 non-Staff administrators (excluding the abuse filter which isn't used). Out of those, the least number of edits is 1240. And there are no bureaucrats, any decision would be made by Wikia Staff.
