From the bug(T113703) submitted by @Beta16, while trying to reproduce it on my localhost, i found out that the Users link points to Sitename:Users, in my case Rosalie:Users and this shows a page not found. I thought the link should point to a list of users that have permission in the group.
I did found this out while i did not have sufficient authorization, so i was an anonymous user with my localhost(127.0.0.1) as my IP address.

Maybe also the pattern used in Special:ListGroupRights page seems useful to me:
Users (list of members)
Hi @rosalieper, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Could you please associate at least one project with this task (and/or clearer steps to reproduce)? Otherwise nobody will find this task when searching in the corresponding project(s). See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug for more information. Thanks!
I guess this is about Math...
It might be useful to have the Administrators (list of members) on this page too. This shouldn't block working on the other task though.
As it's like this "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators.", we could link the "users in the group" part to Special:Listusers/group.
As @Aklapper asked above for the bug reproduction, these are the steps. First of all, these bug is found in the Math extension and to reproduce the bug, you need this extension installed in your development copy of MediaWiki.
I am thinking of working on the bug myself and submitting a patch :)
This isn't specific to Math extension. It's the standard permissions error shown on MediaWiki so should be fixed on core itself. Also although you would see this error most commonly on special pages, it's not only shown on special pages.
The link target is grouppage-<group name> (in this case grouppage-user), which links to "{{ns:project}}:Users", that is the default and when the project does not have that page the link is red. This is possible for fresh installs, but on wikis with a community the page usually exists (see wikipedia wikis for example) or the message gets overridden to point to the special page or a other named page.
Having a additional link to the list of members is a possible soluation to avoid confusion here
I think this is not possible since there could be multiple groups that have the required permission (e.g. Admins, 'crats, CUs), which requires separate links to the specific user groups
Change 281199 had a related patch set uploaded (by Florianschmidtwelzow):
Show "list of users" on PermissionsErrorPages
Removing task assignee due to inactivity, as this open task has been assigned to the same person for more than two years (see the emails sent to the task assignee on Oct27 and Nov23). Please assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically [plan to] work on this task - it would be welcome.
(See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Assignee_cleanup for tips how to best manage your individual work in Phabricator.)
This is trickier then it looks - on large wikis like enwiki most groups do have a project-namespace page about the group so linking to the specific page like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators is better than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop
But on smaller wikis that page probably won't exist. Maybe check if the page in question exists and show the list of users if it doesn't.
(And maybe special-case "Users`" and say "You need to log in/create a permanent account to take this action" instead.)
Removing good first task as this doesn't seem suitable for a newbie to me.
