[Mediawiki-l] Sysop rights

Tue Sep 16 14:22:29 UTC 2008

Do you have another Sysop account you can login as?  (WikiSysop?)  If so
try logging in as that user and then use the "User rights management"
page (you can find a link to it on the special pages) to remove Sysop
and Bureaucrat rights from the user "Henny", and then assign them again.

BTW, how did you assign Henny the Sysop rights in the first place?

Yes it has, I thought I wrote that in the first message,

Here we go again

Username:Henny
User ID:1
Member of groups:Users, Autoconfirmed users, Sysop , bureaucrat (User
group rights)

According to that page I AM the sysop and bureacrat. Nevertheless I
can't do anything,
