An admin is like the manager of a restaurant while the bureaucrat is like the owner. In your case I suggest that you ask for both admin and bureaucrat rights, as this wikia doesn't have an admin nor a bureaucrat.

Here's some links about the powers and best practices for an admin and bureaucrat.

Basically an admin has important maintenance tools and powers. For example he can delete unwanted pages (sometimes people create pages which are not relevant and are just advertising). He can also block users or protect an important page so that others cannot edit or vandalise it.

An admin can see a site dashboard with useful statistics and information, telling him which pages need maintenance or has problems. He can also change the theme (colour scheme and design) of the site.

An admin also tries to grow the community, by welcoming new editors and offering to help if they need it. You are already doing that!

A bureaucrat is like the owner of the restaurant. Besides all the powers above, the most important power a bureaucrat has is to be able to appoint other users as admin or bureaucrat.

Although it sounds like a lot, I assure you that there is usually not a lot to do. I am admin of three sites. There was some vandalism to remove but I never had to block any user.

Please consider taking it up. Regards.
