According to MediaWiki documentation on privilege rights to the wikiuser index, create, select, insert, update, delete, alter, lock tables should be set. But running the rebuildall.php maintenance script brings up the error DROP command denied to user 'wikiuser' for table 'smw_new'. So DROP must be activated for the wiki user to run the rebuildall.php script. Should be checked in phpmydamin if semantic mediawiki extensions are activated. --Andreas Plank (talk) 11:17, 14 December 2013 (CET)

Help:Installation General Notes for SMW states:
“For installation and upgrade, SMW needs the rights to create new tables (CREATE) and to alter tables (ALTER TABLE). You can remove both rights after SMW is set up. The script SMW_setup.php can use the DB credentials from AdminSettings.php for this purpose, avoiding the need of extra rights for the wiki DB user.”

Not sure whether table rights can stripped of the extended table rights or not. Running maintenance sudo rebuildall.php seems to need extended rights for SMW. --Andreas Plank (talk) 15:26, 8 January 2014 (CET)
