There is no real strict definition of what it means exactly. There is some stuff in The Simpsons Tapped Out Wiki:User applications, but it's kind of outdated and not in use any more. If I remember correctly, the people that I have made admin so far have just been picked by me based on their contributions to and behaviour on the wiki.

Since that may not be a very satisfactory answer let me add some stuff from Wikipedia. Obviously things are and have to be way more strict and formal there, but the general ideas still apply often enough:

From wikipedia:WP:ADMIN:

Before requesting or accepting a nomination, candidates should generally be active, regular, and long-term Wikipedia contributors, be familiar with the procedures and practices of Wikipedia, respect and understand its policies, and have gained the general trust of the community.

Admin rights would be awesome because a school friend always brags about his Springfield, it would be awesome for me to tell him that 😏😏😏😏 Well, as you surely understand that is not really a good reason from my point of view (i.e. the bureaucrat providing rights). It does not benefit the community/wiki in any way. On top of that Because it would be cool is a reason basically anyone has. See also wikipedia:WP:TROPHY.

Keep editing and being around, and maybe in the future we can talk about it again :)
