Description

From meta, rights assigned to the bureaucrats:

Can add groups: IP block exemptions, Bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats, Administrators, Bureaucrats and Bots
Can remove groups: Bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats, IP block exemptions, Flood flag and Bots

From plwiki:

Can add groups: Abuse filter editors, Administrators, Bureaucrats, Bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats, Bots and Reviewers
Can remove groups: Abuse filter editors, Bots, Bots and Reviewers

Looks like $wgAddGroups['bureaucrat'], $wgRemoveGroups['bureaucrat'] settings:

should be truncated not to include the defaults OR Special:ListGroupRights page should remove duplicate group names on display.

for example:

'+plwiki' => array(
    'bureaucrat' => array( 'abusefilter', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat', 'bot' ),
),

does no longer need ('sysop', 'bureaucrat', 'bot') elements due to the default.

• bzimport set Reference to bz18648.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Special:ListGroupRight should just filter duplicate entries (using array_unique()) before displaying those lists.

Adds an array_unique function to the array of user groups
