It's beyond me, though, I'm afraid.
Wait!! Do you mean Autopromoted groups are recalculated on each request? If the above works, that would be a way to fix the long-awaited bug 4995 (block from uploading). Remove upload from user group and autopromote giving upload right to any user not on the upload-blocked group. *Ok, not too elegant, but after two years and having used worse quirks, a solution without needing painful schema changes (not even code!) would be great. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
