I think we are at the time where this can be closed, but two valid points have been raised, so I'll see if I can address them quickly.

First point: I'm an admin on a lot of wikis, so how do I manage them?

For the approximately 50 wikis I'm an admin on, sometimes all I do is just check the Recent Changes to see if anything needs attention. Other times I will do a bit of work on them, but it's usually just the daily spot check. None are really getting as much attention as I should give them, which is why what I said about "the more wikis you're an admin on, the less time you have to devote to them because you're stretching yourself too thin" also applies to me.

I became an admin on at least 80% of those wikis as a result of cleaning up vandalism, which lead to me either adopting the wiki or being given admin rights in appreciation of helping out with fending off vandalism. I'm currently working on adopting yet another wiki so there will be an admin on duty to deal with vandals and have put in 360 edits during the past month.

I don't really like being in charge of a wiki because of vandalism. If I'm going to adopt one, I'd rather it be a subject I'm personally interested in. But sometimes there's no one else that will step up and do it.
