Hello,
recently we had a new sysop election at the Spanish Wikipedia and it was a huge success. We planned to make the candidate sysop today, but there's a problem with Special:Makesysop stopping us from doing so.
All we get is error this message:
User "Renacimiento" could not be made into a sysop. (Did you enter the name correctly?)
The username is correctly spelled and there's nothing else to check. I am assuming this is a bug in Medawiki. If anyone knows how to fix it, we would greatly appreciate the help. In the meanwhile I would like to ask someone with enough priviledges to manually do the sysopping for us, as the voting was already closed.
Thanks in advance,
Pedro (User:Pilaf)

Renacimiento is already a sysop: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Log/rights

It often happens with the steward interface. Sometimes, it is an issue of first letter being capital or not. Other times, a space is left somewhere. And sometimes, there is just no reason. I rewrite it, and after a while, it works. Inch Allah !
