I found the problem why the "Remember my login" checkbox had stopped working on my site. I had secured the MediaWiki login page with SSL (https), and as a result, cookies were being created as secure, which made them inaccessible to the regular http site. Thus, I lost my session and got handed a new one.
To prevent this, I set $wgCookieSecure = false in LocalSettings.php, and all is well.
If anyone is interested in my secure login page "extension," here it is, ready for inclusion in LocalSettings.php:

I did some searching but couldn't find this. I am trying to remove the following list of items from the header area. I simply need to toggle them off if possible. Even better would be to change their URL and text! For example changing 'My Preferences' to 'My Profile' and with a different URL.
- Icon & username - My preferences - My talk
Any ideas?
Thanks, Paul
There's a hook in SkinTemplate.php called "PersonalUrls". A simple extension hooking this could allow you to add, remove or modify any of the items displayed in the 'p-personal' div (which shows up in the header area in the default MonoBook skin).

To hide them, set #pt-userpage, #pt-mytalk, #pt-preferences {display: none} on CSS
To rename them, create Mediawiki:mypreferences as 'My Profile', same with Mediawiki:mytalk.
You can't change the URL from the UI (unless using a JS hack). Could use an extension to remove it and add another one or modify the url at content_actions.
Meta says there's no easy way to rename a category:
"To change the name of a category, one needs to change all category tags, and copy the editable part." http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Moving_a_page
Anybody created a maintenance script or Special page to do this?

It's an open feature request, along with things like automatic depopulation of categories when they're deleted, etc.
The main obstacle for renaming categories is properly handling category redirects, which Rotem has done some work on.
