(1) Definitely providing sources for the info - though some may find this to be a bit strict, it really is the best way to check that info's accurate or to find, say, a particular episode you're looking for. Also, to some extent, a good looking layout and main page make the wiki look more active and cared for than a plain, un-customized look. I'd also say that a welcoming adminship and community is paramount. Well-defined policies are useful, but good (and fair!) communication can go even further - the two together make a great team.

(2) Basic HTML. I first found it after nearly breaking the first wiki I founded when I attempted to create infoboxes. Through the past 5 years, I've at least gotten to the point that I can tell what does what, but I'm still learning new things from playing around.

(3) I can definitely say that much of it has been unexpected. I never expected I'd be an admin on the wiki I'm the most active on, but I can definitely say that it's been a good experience. I'd probably sign off by saying to be flexible where ethics will permit. Sometimes things will be good, sometimes things may be the most frustrating you can imagine, but don't let things get you down or cause you to do something stupid.
