I guess I need to focus more on mainspace edits, and obviously on how constructive the edits are. ... I don't know if any of admins regularly check the recent changes or even Wiki activity, because there were 9 pages to deletion for a while. In fact, they were deleted after I notified one of admins. I think edits as comments or the forum games are kind of useful, though. An admins need to be social and interact with community. I like your knowledge about Wikia, by the way. Yes. Polls can be manipulated and it's harder to be deceptive with actual accounts (also keep in mind that Wikia Staff won't take polls into consideration for anything so it's a good standard to use). I'd recommend focusing on as many aspects of the wiki you have knowledge with. Pages to delete is something an Admin should always be looking for, even if on the wiki for a short time each day. And yes, being social is an important part of being a member of the community, not just as an Admin, but don't let that be the primary thing you are doing (after all, you don't need to be an Admin to interact with others).
