Staff are paid employees of Wikia with a variety of positions in the company. Helpers are mostly volunteers who are given extra rights to do some official things for Wikia. Councilors are totally unrelated -- it's a group of people who give feedback on Wikia features before they come out, and the only extra privilege they have is access to a private wiki.

You can find more info on Help:User_access_levels, Help:Helper_Group and Help:Community_Council.
