Bug ID: 58474
Summary: Some sysops cant eddit sysop protected items unless
also explicitly given 'confirmed user' flag
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

A recent weird bug cropped up on Wikidata where *some* sysops are unable to
edit sysop protected pages. Two currently protected pages are;
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5268366 and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16503.
After speaking with Addshore, it turns out we both have this weird issue. His
solution tested out was granting both of us confirmed user flags (log: [1])
which apparently made us able to edit protected items.
This seems like an awfully weird bug which really should be looked into in more
depth. Also this is a Wikibase issue as all other non wikibase pages are
editable without the confirmed user flag.
