As others have said, being a chat mod implies a certain level of trust above regular users. You have options for responding to content posted on the wiki beyond just flagging it for admin attention, and categories like Needs Work, are actionable. It may not confer the full suite of abilities that an admin enjoys, but it does give much more freedom and weight to your judgement than just any anon on the wiki.
