A need for additional admins has to exist in the eyes of the current administration, and the current administration must select you based on your editing history, your character (namely how you treat other editors), how well you follow the rules, etc. Basically everything you do on the wiki is taken into consideration. Then the admins nominate people to fill the new slots and we vote on them. This isnt something given out or automatically granted.
