I've set up two different wiki's and evidently am not the bureaucrat of either. When installing the wiki I changed the Sysop name to a my user name--assuming I'd have Sysop and Bureaucrat status. Does that mean I'm logging in as the bureaucrat and simply don't know it? How does one know if they have bureaucrat or sysop status?
Which file would I look in to see how the bureaucrat was setup?

Special:Listusers to see.

Brion, I've read the instructions in the links you sent but cannot find in my Wiki's the "User Rights Management" page. Am I misreading the Wikimedia instructions? Mike

Probably.
If this is 1.5, then there is Special:Userrights. However this doesn't help since you say you don't have a bureaucrat user.
You want the instructions on manually poking rights into the database, so that *then* you can use the interface in the wiki.
