Bug ID: 48609
Summary: UserRights confusing when removing own rights
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19.6
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When you change a user's rights using Special:UserRights/UsernameXXX, you
returns to Special:UserRights/UsernameXXX. There is no indication that anything
has changed, except for check marks by the new groups, and a new item in the
log.
Suppose the user UsernameXXX modifies his own userrights and saves. He is
brought back to Special:UserRights/UsernameXXX.
However, if he has removed his own admin rights and no longer has userrights
priveleges, then upon returning to the page, he is presented with an error:
"You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason: Your account
does not have permission to add or remove user rights."
Since he *just* clicked the button to modify his own userrights, and has
recieved no affirmation of that, he becomes confused because it very much seems
like he has failed to remove his own rights.
Can we add a confirmation page of some sort to avoid these situations?
