Hello wiki-folks,

the options on the Special Page "Settings" are greyed out/ disabled in my mediawiki-website (Media) although I am sysop. Why is that?

I have searched the MediaWiki-Documentation and googled for the problem but to no avail.

Thanks for helpful hints. (Can not provide URL, sry)

MediaWiki 1.24.1 PHP 5.4.38-1~dotdeb.0 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.5.38-1~dotdeb.0

You mean on page Special:Preferences all options are greyed out? That is not normal. I know that you can hide certain options using the variable $wgHiddenPrefs in LocalSettings.php, but as far as I remember that should really remove them from the preferences page, not only grey them out.

There are no $wgHiddenPrefs in my LocalSettings.php. I have no idea where to activate the options in Special:Preferences.

Any further ideas?
