This is about right. "Admin" in WordPress is much, much more powerful than "admin" in MediaWiki, much more like "system administrator", and I really didn't have any need for the power to, e.g., add and remove plugins. I can approve/trash/spam comments, though, and when I do log into the blog that's what I use it for. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
