I'm afraid right now I'm out of ideas. I do recall something along this
line being posted on here a few months back. If I can find some time
I'll see if I can locate what that issue was.

Hi Jeff,
I fear that this is not the problem because I am using my former LocalSettings.php. The
permissions are set as follows:
# Prevent new user registrations except by sysops
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
# Restrict editing by all non-sysop users
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true;
# To prevent normal users from uploading files
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['upload'] = false;
But when I have logged into my account which is an sysop account I have no rights to edit
the main page or the common.css page, etc. When clicking on settings within my account (I
am not speaking of the LocalSettings.php) the field where I can usually see the entries
sysop, bureaucrat, etc. ist empty. I reconstructed this update twice. Before updating
everything is fine. After updating I have the mentioned problems.

As far as I know it is not done by single users
but by user groups. I
remember the same thing, my settings changed after the install and I had
to go and change the permissions back to get things working right again.
I think you will need to edit them. If you have an old copy of the
localsettings file from before the install look at it and set the
permissions up the same way and things should work correctly.

could find in this section "sysop" or "bureaucrat". But it is empfty.
