I have made my user:
Member of: Bureaucrats and Administrators
however I still can not delete pages. I been checking all over the web, but sounds like I should have the ability to, but do not have the ability to. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
Hi!
Basically administrators should be able to delete pages. What is the URL of your wiki?
it is private and password protected and I can not allow access to it because has sensitive work info, but some of the old pages our out dated company polices and info. That is why I need to delete the pages. From my user page:

Is this something I can setup when I start a fresh install? I just started another install on another site so I do not break my current one, Once I have that up I can pass along if that would help.
Hello! If you are an administrator and not able to delete pages, then check the LocalSettings.php for wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['delete'] please. Is this on true or false (or doesn't exist?)?
Do you see the "delete" link or not (it's in the menu behind the "arrow")? Which MW Version you have installed?
I checked the local settings and was not there. Was not Permissions listed in the file at all, and my version are as follows:
Installed software
Product Version MediaWiki 1.19.11 PHP 5.3.27 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.1.39-log
On the edit bar I have:
B (bold), I (italics), Ab (internal link), globe (external link), BIg A ( level headline 2), Ignore wiki format, Your signature, Horizontal line.
That's is, never could get any visual editor working, I am not super familiar with it all, have not done much work on it.
But the delete link isn't in the editor :) You have the "edit" link, then right next to it you can find the history and an arrow. If you move with the mouse over the arrow, and you find the "detele" link, right?
system had logged me out and had not noticed so did not see the arrow. Once I logged back in I could see it, perfect thanks.
