I haven't edited [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] or
[[MediaWiki:Common.css]], etc, although I have edited other MediaWiki
pages in addition to doing everything else in that list. I've also
undeleted pages, unblocked users, and used [[Special:Unwatchedpages]].
I can't remember if I've ever moved a move-protected page, although
I'm fairly certain I haven't hidden the contributions of any vandals
from [[Special:Recentchanges]].

Over the course of time a reasonable active admin will use all of the
buttons at some point or another. How big a deal each of them are
varies. The original admin work, the janitorial stuff, really is no
big deal and never has been.

However as WP has scaled, a greater amount (though not, IMHO, a
greater proportion) of work can be a big deal. Certain types of
deleted content, blocks in certain circumstances and so forth.
