Description

When I open this page, I see three user group names not in English, which can be avoided.
Another example is https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=group&namespace=8 , moving the translation of property creator group name will make it more easy to translate the group name to other languages, such as Swedish.
Note the actual names of user groups are also a mess (autopatrolled/autopatrol/autoreviewer, eliminator/closer), which is another task.

List of groups not defined by MediaWiki core and extensions:

class="phui-tag-core phui-tag-color-person">@Bugreporter maybe we should merge some user groups before?

User group merger candidate:

autoeditor/autopatrol/autoreviewed/trusteduser: merge to autopatrolled/autoreviewer (probably depending on whether FR is installed?)
closer: merge to eliminator
technican: misspelling, merge with technician

User group to keep:

technician
nocreate (users banned from page creation, what's the suitable English name of this group?)
propertycreator
suppressredirect
curator (users with delete, protect and import right)
medlem (rename to member?)
extendedmover

In dispute:

facilitator (users with import, autoreview, review right, merge to editor/reviewer?)

User group (probably) to delete:

qa_automation (group with only inactive test user)

Those of "technician" can be merged into "editinterface". As far as I can see the technicians have editinterface rights, and we already have some wikis with the editinterface user group.

I think that we should also put an stop on creating exotic usergroups if there's no real need to do so, even if there is local consensus for that. Otherwise we will end creating fancy groups with no real purpose but to create classes of editors. That's harmful, as the project's asset is the content, not a flag-collecting career as some users wrongly think.

MarcoAurelio mentioned this in T144599: New "engineer" usergroup for ruwiki.Sep 2 2016, 7:06 PM

There is an agreement to sort between technician / editinterface names? That would be useful to have the definitve one for T144599.

Editinterface is the most used I think. I'd go with editinterface and later we can take care of technicians, renaming them to editinterface.

Please see https://tools.wmflabs.org/rightstool/cgi-bin/rightsstats for further inconsistencies:

fawiki autopatrol should be renamed to autopatrolled
mkwiki autoreviewed should be renamed to autoreview
autoreviewer rights from enwiki, ptwiki, zhwiki and zh_yue should be renamed to autoreview if the FlaggedRevs extension is still there, otherwise should be removed.
