Thank you for responding to this. Your imput is appreciated. I understand how you feel with being busy, it happens to everyone at some point in life.

The part about having every current editor as admin seems far-fetched and unnecessary for the Wikia. As you mentioned it could cause more errors and disputes, such as the layout of things. I'd also have no problem with Taka applying as an admin on here. He's a great editor and has put in a lot of work. However, he's busy and has said so many times. If he were to become admin I feel it would be necessary for a second admin to maintain stability. Sadly, no one can currently apply for the position of admin via Community Wikia. As Dancing Fairy made an edit today after not being around for two months.

Sorry if it seemed poorly explained. By that point I was trying to address the fact that we can't help the Wikia evolve in terms of quality E.g. Wikia formatting, mobile support. Something which basic editors can't access. I don't think everyone wants admin rights, I questioned Taka when I first joined the Wikia as to why he wasn't an admin. He responded by saying he has priorities on other Wikia's and is busy. Once again sorry if any of the points seemed poorly explained. The main reason why an active bureaucrat is necessary is to give out specific roles, by making people a role such as "moderator" it will help with the editing of the Wikia. Such as how "roleback" users are able to easy revoke edits made to pages. Addressing your point on Dancing Fairy being around, she was away for an entirety of two months before returning to only making one edit and saying she was leaving again. As previously said, I don't think all the five current editors want to be admin/bureaucrat. I'd say it is only needed for 1-2 admins on the Wikia currently.

This is a hard question to answer. I'm not going to say I, or anyone else on this Wikia can be active forever. That's why I think it's necessary for us to eventually hand over our responsibilities when we are no longer able to commit to them. I personally feel as if that's the problem here, the staff have tried to keep their commitments rather than handing over the commitment to someone new. No one can do the same thing forever, and I don't expect myself to do so either. What I am saying though, is that I plan to put as much effort into this Wikia for as long as possible, until someone else comes along that I have faith in. Someone who can take the Wikia to a new level.
