[Mediawiki-l] Sysop rights

Tue Sep 16 15:34:07 UTC 2008

Jim,

You're brilliant. That was the solution. I went immedialtely into 
MySQL and found the extra space.

To enlighten you a bit as to why this happened, the server is mine, I 
also have a webhosting company, I installed installatron which allows 
you to install a whole range of scripts. I guess they left out the 
WikiSysop with the install script and I had to create the admin 
myself. Added my own name and from there on it went wrong.

I also gave the user you saw the sysop rights directly in the 
database since he registered after I posted this problem so I assumed 
it was from someone on this list.
