In addition, today a user automatically became "editor" (Sichter), see https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Spezial:Logbuch?type=rights&user=Peter+Berbe
This automatism for "editor" (Sichter) is not provided in de.wikt. In de.wikt there was so far only an automatism for "autoreview" (passiver Sichter).

This part should already be fixed (you might need to remove the group from the account)

Hi @Reedy, but we can't remove the group from the account, because no admin is able, to grant (or remove) the right for "autoreview" (passiver Sichter) or "editor" (Sichter). (Part 1 of the task).

Berst regards

The same behavior as in T225115 a few weeks ago.

Again (as in T225115) in de.wiktionary admins no longer can grant the right for "autoreview" (passiver Sichter) or "editor" (Sichter).

Do you know if that broke today, or has it been broken since last Tuesday?

Cause I think it was broken by this:

Not by the changes I've made today...

I am not sure. We became aware of it today because the user Peter Berbe automatically became an editor. Udo T.

@Reedy: It doesn't look this was caused by my change. When I was deploying that change, I verified it's working correctly on several wikis, including dewiktionary.

Hi @Reedy. can you possibly still set up the config so that the admins can grant (or revoke) "autoreview" and "editor" again?

Best regards

Indeed, I think you're right, sorry. It's been a long afternoon

I'm not sure why, but wgAddGroups and wgRemoveGroups don't seem to being pulled through by extreg (but it WFM locally). I think it might be due to the default in IS.php that doesn't include it... And extreg takes that as it doesn't need to do it for some reason. Patch to partially revert my patch and bring your code back in is incoming

Probably need to file a separate task for that...

Hi @Reedy,

About 2 hours ago, another user automatically became "editor" (Sichter), see https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Spezial:Logbuch?type=rights&user=Hans-Friedrich+Tamke

Can you please deactivate this automatism to become "editor" (Sichter) in de.wiktionary?

In de.wiktionary we only have an automatism for "autoreview" (passiver Sichter), but NOT for "editor" (Sichter).

Best regards
Udo T.

Are you sure?

Are there definitely isn't an autopromote config for dewiktionary for any groups...

Hi @Reedy, yes, i'm very sure.

As you can see in the 2 logs https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Spezial:Logbuch?type=rights&user=Hans-Friedrich+Tamke and https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Spezial:Logbuch?type=rights&user=Peter+Berbe
the user "Hans Friedrich Tamke" became automatically "autoreview" (passiver Sichter) on "00:19, 23. Mär. 2013" and the user "Peter Berbe" became automatically "autoreview" (passiver Sichter) on "21:37, 24. Jun. 2018".

You can also see the requirements for autopromote of "autoreview" (passiver Sichter) in task T46103

Best regards
Udo T.

I guess it's because it's not autopromote, it's autoconfirm from T46103

Why does it have multiple overly complex things that do vaguely the same thing... Ugh

I don't know why. But it works fine all the years.

The problem now ist NOT the automatism for "autoreview" (passiver Sichter). That's ok and that is what we want.

But since a few days users are becoming automatically "editor" (Sichter). And that's NOT ok for us.

Best regards

Yes, I know. It should've been fixed again as of last night, hopefully

https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/commit/a3866b4caa9e3eb689ee1ed4e36aa293844575bf#diff-e5cc5cd3aad93462d5d6a1249360a419

I'm trying to work on tidying this stuff up to make things cleaner/easier and less complex so these things hopefully don't happen again

Ok, thank you for the info. I will watch the "user rights log" in de.wiktionary.

If the problem should reappear, then I'll get back here again.

Best regards
Udo T.

This broke the config for wikis which do *not* want admins to be able to grant those rights. (Ain't flagrev config a bundle of fun?)
