Bug #: 34258
Summary: most ways to get list of users in Global groups broken
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralAuth

Classification: Unclassified
Currently the easiest and most common ways of finding who belongs to a global
group appear to be broken. I'm not sure if this is 1 issue or multiple so going
to walk through a couple different ways to replicate using the 'staff' global
group as an example.
A: Try to see list of global users with the staff right by going to
Special:GlobalUsers/Staff (such as
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsers/Staff ).
Expected: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag. (similar to if you go
to Special:ListUsers/sysop you get a list of local sysops)
Received: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag and are alphabetically
after an invisible User:Staff (The group drop down box is selected as Staff and
the 'Display users starting at:' is prefilled with 'Staff'
B: Try to see list of global users with the staff right by:
* Going to Special:GlobalUsers
* Selecting 'Staff' from the drop down box for the 'Group' drop down box
* Press 'go'
(similar to if you go to Special:ListUsers and select 'sysop' from the group
drop down and press go you get a list of local sysops).
Expected: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag. (similar to if you go
to Special:ListUsers/sysop you get a list of local sysops)
Received: Empty list with url
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=Staff&limit=50
(The group drop down box is reset to the default '(all)' setting and nothing is
in the 'Display users starting at:' box.
C: Try to see list of global users with the staff right by viewing the staff
global group at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/Staff and
clicking 'List of users with Staff rights'.
Expected: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag. (similar to if you go
to Special:ListUsers/sysop you get a list of local sysops)
Recieved: See letter A above (redirected to Special:GlobalUsers/Staff )
So far the only work around I've found is to use
Special:GlobalUsers?group=Staff for a certain group. (there is no direct link
to that that I know of.
