Thread:Project:Support desk/Changing Users & Adding "ConfirmAccount" Extension

Hello everyone,

Sorry, I am pretty new to all of this, so I'm sorry if I am asking some basic questions

I needed to change the administrator account from a previous admin to myself. I also changed the username of some of the other deemed administrator/bureaucrat/tech accounts. When I changed the user name, the users no longer have permission to certain pages, such as special pages. I'm guessing that when changing users, you will need to re-setup their permissions, but when I check with an account that is functioning, everyone is listed to have proper privileges. When I go and change this information, I am doing all of the changes through the actual wiki page.

I am also wanting to add the ability to require an administrator approval to create an account. I found our version, 1.19.1, and I downloaded the zip package to my desktop and unzipped. When I go into the server, I had trouble finding the mediawiki installation. I finally found it in /var/www/info/resources. It seems as it is there considering all of the folders relating to mediawiki. There is no extensions folder except in /var/www/info/. I didnt know if I should upload to that folder, if even the correct one

I do thank you, as I am quite new to this
