Hi all...I've done some more playing with the Wikipedia software for
my "Disinfopedia" project, and I noticed an apparent error in the
documentation. Specifically, the "user.doc" file contains the
following statement:
user_rights
Comma-separated list of rights. Right now, only "is_editor"
and "is_sysop".
I believe this should be changed to say,
user_rights
Comma-separated list of rights. Right now, only "developer"
and "sysop".
I was able to change my user rights to "sysop" using a direct SQL
command. Is there a better way to do this? Assuming the Disinfopedia
grows as hoped, I imagine I'll want to give sysop rights to other
users.
I'm assuming that I won't have any occasion to give anyone
"developer" rights. Is this a fair assumption?
