             Bug #: 35283
           Summary: Duplication of defaults in wgAddGroups/wgRemoveGroups
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Site requests
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Just after wgAddGroups in InitialiseSettings.php there is a good advice from
Werdna:

"The '+' in front of the DB name means 'add to the default'. It saves us
duplicating changes to the default across all overrides"

Unfortunately it is not followed as there are lots of duplicating entries. A
clean-up is evidently needed.

Could all duplications be removed? Namely 'sysop', 'bureaucrat' and 'bot'
should be removed from bureaucrat's entries and 'ipblock-exempt' from sysop's
ones in wgAddGroups and also 'bot' should be removed from bureaucrat's and
'ipblock-exempt' from sysop's in wgRemoveGroups.

In its current form the configuration file is confusing, which may lead to
copy-paste errors while updating configuration.

Thank you in advance.
