: How to log-in with more rights than Admin or Bureaucrat? I'm having a heck of a time with MediaWiki and an Internal Server Error. I'd like to log-in with more privileges than afforded by Admin

I'm having a heck of a time with MediaWiki and an Internal Server Error. I'd like to log-in with more privileges than afforded by Admin and Bureaucrat in hopes of actually being able to save a page.

I am an admin on the VM that hosts the wiki. I have all the usernames and passwords at my disposal. I tried logging in with the MediaWiki user and password from LocalSettings.php but the log-in failed.

Is it possible to acquire more privileges than provided by Admin or Bureaucrat? If so, how do I log-in with more rights than Admin or Bureaucrat?

There are privileges which bureaucrats do not have by default, and it is possible to give those to them (or some other group or a specific user if you prefer), e.g.

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat'] += array_fill_keys( $wgAvailableRights, true );

See the manual for details.

It won't help you, though. Submitting a page edit works the same way no matter what privileges you have. You really should debug and fix your problem instead of trying to find weird workarounds.
