Things one discover... The silly ex-administrator user group was removed from hiwiki configuration as per T37355; however users in the ex-administrator user group remains and, since they don't exist anymore on-wiki, this has to be removed directly through the database. Thank you.

Would prefer to re-add it temporarily, have a steward remove the groups, and then remove again, so it gets logged on-wiki.

We can't remove those user rights via Meta. I don't think this is
controversial, since such usergroup only granted autopatrol rights. It's
easier and less work to do it via the DB IMHO. Thanks.
