I've always seen Wikipedia admins as acting

Exactly, CZ got it right by calling them "constables" while we still
hold on to the "no big deal" myth and talk about admins being janitors
and having mops.
We really have many different admin job roles, some of which are
completely mop-like, some of which involve a lot of
constable-like-ness, some of which are a mixture.
Not every admin actually does every role, by far, though we're all empowered to.
Enumerating and categorizing in more detail might be useful
activities. I have no bandwidth, though.
