Summary: Special:UserRights/User:Foobar should work
consistently
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I'm going to describe the setup in which I found this bug to be most noticeable
first:
Need a group which can only be added or removed from yourself, such as the
flood group for sysops.
Entry your name without "User:" included in Special:UserRights:
* User page link works.
* Groups you can add and remove for anyone and yourself are enabled.
Now try again with "User:" included in Special:UserRights:
* User page link works. The user page linked to is the same.
* Groups you can add and remove from anyone are enabled.
* Groups you could only add and remove from yourself are now disabled.
I think the special page should either consistently work or consistently fail
when you include the "User:" namespace with the username. With the user page
link and other groups working correctly the difference is subtle enough that I
thought the problem might of been elsewhere until I noticed the difference.
