You need editinterface, edituserjs, or some of the centralnotice related rights (or the steward related rights to give yourself these rights). Any method that does not involve editinterface or a related right that is normally restricted to administrator (or higher group) should be considered a serious security issue in mediawiki and reported immediately. -- Brian Wolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
