Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Create a new MySQL (or MariaDB) database, any supported version
- Create an administrator user with appropriate permissions to create users. For example:
CREATE USER 'wikidbadmin'@'%' ; GRANT CREATE USER ON *.* TO 'wikidbadmin'@'%' ; GRANT GRANT OPTION ON `wikidb`.* TO 'wikidbadmin'@'%' ; GRANT INSERT ON `mysql`.* TO 'wikidbadmin'@'%' ;
- Download and extract MediaWiki and connect it to a server so pages load
- Navigate to the index
- Start the installation
- When prompted, select to create a new user
What happens?:
Despite having all necessary permissions to create an appropriate user, the installer provides a note that the necessary permissions are missing and does not offer the checkbox to create a new user.
What should have happened instead?:
The installer should have provided a checkbox allowing for creation of a new user.
Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
