Just make sure you show the admins that you actually care about the wikia, make sure that the admins know who you are and what you've done, get involved in almost everything, do whatever it takes to push whatever ideas you have to improve the wikia. Pester the admins all the time about problems with the wikia and get them to fix it.

If there are no staff online, report stuff. Report as much as you can. Try to follow the FANDOM and local rules as much as possible. They're like your bible.

Use the Special:Insights page to improve and modernize the wikia further. Keep on top of Wikia updates.

Come onto chat as much as possible, but don't do what other people do - engage in conversation. Be friendly to as many people as possible.

Seek new insights into the wikia, the way it is run, and people's opinions of it. Use Google Plus to gain trust in other mapping communities, specifically the big ones. Promote the Wikia on Skype, Discord, Google Plus, etc. Get involved in competitions, improve your moderating skills outside of the wikia. This way, you can prove to staff that you are competent at being a moderator, and you will also gain some very useful links from the wikia to other communities.

And don't just limit yourself to this wikia. Frequent the Future wikia and the Polandball wikia, and get to know the guys other there. The more interconnected we become, the harder it will be for the wikia to become more inactive.

Now I know all of this may seem like too much, but all you have to do is be dedicated and all of this comes naturally. And, if you think about it, I didn't really have to tell you this anyway. You could have figured it out on your own.

This is basically a checklist of how to become a super competent moderator, not only on this wikia, but among other communities. You don't have to limit yourself to one aspect of the community. Become a Discord moderator. Moderate a Google Plus community. If you ever get bored of the wikia, or feel like it's lacking something which you cannot rectify, you have these to fall back on, so that you're not just abandoning everything.

Hope this was helpful.
