SemanticMediaWiki is a special page that provides functions for the software administrators of Semantic MediaWiki. This special page was introduced in Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0Released on 14 March 2017 and compatible with MW 1.23.0 - 1.29.x. as the modernized as well as substantially extended version of the precursing special page "SMWAdmin"Provides functions for the software administrators that assist in doing their administration work1 which is now just an alias for "SemanticMediaWiki" to keep the page accessible for legacy reasons.2

Access

Opening this special page requires the smw-admin user right. As of Semantic MediaWiki 7.0.0Released on 4 June 2026 and compatible with MW 1.43.x - 1.46.x., this right is granted by default to the sysop group as well as to the dedicated smwadministrator group.3 In earlier versions only the smwadministrator group held the right by default, so wiki administrators had to add themselves to that group (or grant the right explicitly) before they could open the page.

To remove the default sysop grant, add the following to your "LocalSettings.php" file:

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['smw-admin'] = false;
