If that's not working, then we need to fix that. It's working, it's just that there are more rights in the confirmed group: collectionsaveasuserpage, collectionsaveascommunitypage, autoconfirmed (= right to edit semiprotected pages) and skipcaptcha, so the group isn't technically unnecessary. The inactive group is, but that seems to be acknowledged by the comment. Since there's nothing obviously superfluous or useless going on here, I'm gonna give this a rest unless and until it's decided something should be done about this situation (which, admittedly, is a little weird) and I'm asked to change something. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
