--- Comment #11 from Happy-melon <[email protected]> 2009-02-24 14:01:41 UTC --- I agree it's redundant; my question is which is the preferable solution. I like the principle of your epic patch in bug15252 but, as you say, it's probably too big to ever be properly reviewed. However, regardless of when/whether that is likely to be implemented, the two systems are *still* not synchronised. I'm more interested in a consistent interface for viewing and/or editing group permissions, than on what precisely that interface is. There are currently a number of inconsistencies: 1) Name: [[Special:ListGroupRights]] vs [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]]. I'd argue that the name of the former is actually disingenuous: by our usual convention, "rights"<=>"groups" rather than "rights"<=>"permissions", IMO. Would a rename to [[Special:GroupPermissions]] be sensible? It *shouldn't* be a breaking change, since all potentially-breakable bots/scripts should certainly be using the API functionality (which is actually older). Naturally we make a special page redirect from ListGroupRights. 2) UI layout: I can't really visualise how the interface will look without being able to compare the source to a running version, but I can tell that it's not the same as ListGroupRights. It would be a Good Thing for the display to be consistent. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
