You need to set $wgSysopUserBans=true; in LocalSettings.php
2) In the page "special pages for all users"
the different entries towards
the different special pages are not alphabetically organized, isn't possible to sort
them in alphabetic order?
I think this is going to be implemented for the next version of
MediaWiki, even though that makes it very difficult to use wikis in a
language you can't read without setting your preferences to your own
language since the pages will no longer be in the same position across
all wikis.
4) In the Wikipedia website, I have seen that it is
possible, in editing a
page, to insert special characters in using a table containing them in the
lower part of the edited page. This is a very useful tool. How can I add
this in my wiki website?
To get those characters on the edit page, you need to use the
<charinsert> tag at [[MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning]]. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning for an
example.
