Noting whether their rights apply to the wiki would be nice then:

# Aibot ‎(exists locally, global bot, rights apply here)

...or something like that. Most users probably don't know to check (or if they
do, how to actually do it) if a certain wiki is in a certain wiki set. We
shouldn't be obnoxious about this kind of thing.(In reply to comment #2)

Yes - global groups may not (usually don't) share the same rights as their
local "counterpart". Global bots have an arbitrary, changeable, set of rights
which are not necessarily the same as local bots.

For example, rollbackers and global rollbackers *don't* have the same rights!
