Thread:Project:Support desk/User rights / admins (2)

Hello MediaWiki support team,

me and a friend are operating an own wiki (MediaWiki 1.17.0; PHP 5.3.9 (apache2handler); MySQL 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.5). And that is our problem: we would like to change the name of the admin (sysop) user group. That's impossible. So we added a new group with the same rights - impossible, too.

Note: the new user group has got a special character (it's the German ä) in its name.

I hope that I can get an answer quickly.
