It all depends on the bureaucrat you are asking. Some prefer users with plenty of experience, others believe in giving users a trial period, but most look for users that know what they're doing and make decent edits. It's also important to keep in mind that depending on the size of the Wiki (based off of the number of active and/or contributors), there may need to be or not need to be many admins in charge.

In terms of helping the Wiki, there are plenty of things that you can do without any administrative rights, and you can assist the active ones in order to sharpen your skills if your request is granted. The only administrative power that I would find useful here is the power to delete pages, but seeing as this is an idea Wiki, it would need to be exceptionally and intentionally horrible. Just keep editing and working to fix the Wiki and see how it goes from there.
