Help talk:Sysops and permissions

Just joined. Can’t log in

I need help. I just joined and created an account. But it won’t let me log in and I know I put it in the way I created. What do I do? Sleaze Wolf (talk) 13:19, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Where did you join? on your own mediawiki installation? Or here on mediawiki.org? On another wikimedia project? Can you go to "Special:RequestNewPassword"? (have it email you a link to change your password) Harry Wood (talk) 17:01, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

IP 198.27.68.164 Blocked

Hello,

Our project is using the API to search for images and our IP 198.27.68.164 has been blocked. We modified our script to reduce the number of requests per minute and include the maxlag parameter. Would it be possible to unblock our IP?

Thank you! Jpg666 (talk) 18:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Making me a admin

Hello, so I have recently started a new wiki, and I want to be on my new wiki an admin. How do I make myself an admin?

Thank you! Plastacikec (talk) 08:52, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

How did you exactly started a new wiki? The installer automatically gives admin permissions to the user that's created during install Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh okay, I made a wiki on Cloudron hosting Plastacikec (talk) 11:37, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Run the Manual:createAndPromote.php maintenance script from a shell command to create a user, or make this user a sysop.

If you don't know how to get shell access, ask your hosting. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 12:49, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok thanks :) Plastacikec (talk) 13:09, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

can't edit Common.css

I can't edit Common.css though I have the interface admin rights. What's wrong? 2A02:6D40:37A7:3801:94FB:69F4:F503:9C02 (talk) 20:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Are you getting any error messages when you try? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 09:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

I have no edit tab and it says: "Du bist aus dem folgenden Grund nicht berechtigt, diese Seite bearbeiten:

Du hast keine Berechtigung, diese JavaScript-Seite zu bearbeiten, da sie alle Besucher betreffen könnte."

"You have a permission to edit this Side: You have no permission to edit this JavaScript-Side, cause it ca affect all users." 2A02:6D40:37A7:3801:CBA:668B:D07D:5332 (talk) 10:31, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

"no permission" not "a permission" 2A02:6D40:37A7:3801:CBA:668B:D07D:5332 (talk) 10:32, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Check on your wiki's Special:ListGroupRights whether the interface-admin group has the editsitejs user right. If it does, double-check on your wiki's Special:UserRights whether your account is actually an interface admin. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 20:50, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I've have both. Can there be anything missing on Server outside Mediawiki? 2A02:6D40:37A7:3801:CBA:668B:D07D:5332 (talk) 12:44, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Are there any other editors on your wiki who are interface administrators? If so, are they able to edit your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js?

For that matter, what happens if you try to edit your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 14:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

no. i'm the only one. Mediawiki:Common.css is exact the page i want to edit 2A02:6D40:37A7:3801:79C9:2FF8:2C65:E0AE (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that, I somehow got mixed up about which page you've been trying to work on.

In that case, you should check to make sure that the interface-admin group has the editsitecss right. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 22:01, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
