required users to have the "delete" right to access special page "SemanticMediaWiki"Provides functions for wiki administrators that assist in doing their administration work (SMW ≥ 2.5.0) at that time known as "SMWAdmin" (SMW 0.3 to SMW 2.4.x).

Semantic MediaWiki 1.9.0Released on 3 January 2014 and compatible with MW 1.19.0 - 1.22.x. introduced the user group "Administrator (Semantic Mediawiki)" (smwadministrator) together with the "smw-admin" user right allowing to control access to this special page.12 Accessing this special page is for legacy reasons still also tied to the administrator (sysop) user group of MediaWiki core by default via the "smw-admin" user right.

The "smw-admin" is by default assigned to the user groups "Administrator (Semantic Mediawiki)" (smwadministrator) and "Administrator" (sysop).

The "smw-admin" user right should only be granted to users that require database and database table access.
