Need to determine if I am "missing a language label".

Upgrade from MW 1.18.1 to 1.23.5 broke sysop and Bureaucrat users functionality

Product Version MediaWiki 1.23.5 PHP 5.3.17 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.6.20-log

/index.php/Special:ConfirmAccounts
Permission error You do not have permission to <action-confirmaccount>, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Bureaucrats.

Page Localisation has information on language labels, but I don't think it will answer your question.

You say you upgraded MediaWiki. Did you also upgrade the different extensions you use? E.g. ConfirmAccount?

Tcaton-nm (talkcontribs)

Yes I definitely upgraded all the extensions as well.

Just to make sure: You have downloaded the tarballs, but you have also extracted them, right? Sorry, if the question sounds stupid, but you wouldn't believe what we see here...

Yes

Definitely ran the update script.

alb-wit-wikidb:/srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki-upgrade2 # php maintenance/update.php MediaWiki 1.23.5 Updater

Will try those next, Thank You!!!

It appears I have an answer.
In MediaWiki 1.18.1 logging into EDir created user names using the EDir convention: Uppercase Uppercase lowercase rest of username.....
Logging into Upgrade MediaWiki 1.23.5 forced Username to: Uppercase lowercase rest of username....
Simply editing all usernames in DB to be Uppercase first character only fixed it.
