Note: This only works for the wiki's owner.


When visitors register an account on your wiki, you can give them special priviledges to edit your wiki. This means that they can edit your locked pages too. Only give this permission to people you trust.


Scroll all the way down on your wiki page. You'll see a small menu box called "toolbox". Click on "Special Pages", which I circled in yellow in the image below.

A huge list of "special pages" will appear.

Scroll all the way down and you'll see a header called "Restricted special pages", and click on the last link "User rights Management" (circled in yellow in the image below).

Here, you type in the username that the person signed up with and then click "edit user groups". If you don't know their username, ask them. If they don't remember it, they'll have to sign up again - and this time remember their login.

Click on "sysop" in the box next to "Available groups" and then click "save user groups"

That's it. It'll redirect back to the previous page, but you don't have to do anything else.
