Hello,
I am new to MediaWiki and couldn't find the answer to my problem in the docs. Maybe I was just blind but I hope someone here can help me.
I have to manage a MediaWiki installation that has already bin in place for a while. I have to add an user with admin rights, for example to change the navigation on the very left. Currently there seems to be no admin user (or sysop). I have root access to the file system and the MySQL db. In the user table there is only one entry for myself and in the user_groups, there are no entries at all.
Is there a way to add a user with all admin rights without doing a new installation? There is a lot of content in the wiki already.
any help very welcome!
Claus
