Oh and about asking to be an admin, it's not true that it's the worst thing to do, but it the chances it will succeed are proportional to how much contribution you have already done to help the wiki. I've gotten adminship several times by asking, but never before I've offered help or done quite a bit on the wiki.

Like everything, it is complicated.
