@SHB2000 : According to the MediaWiki manual, "If you list more than one permission for a given namespace, a user must have all of them to edit pages in that namespace". So, we need to fix this by setting 828 => ['autoconfirmed'], because with the current config, users need to be in both groups. After making this change, manually granted confirmed users won't be able to edit modules. Are you okay with me uploading a patchset to fix this? Just confirming, because your community wants both groups to be able to edit modules.

Hmm, I suppose if that's the only feasible solution technically then go for it.

You may confuse user group name and user right name

• the "autoconfirmed" user right is given to both autoconfirmed and confirmed users in wiki (plus some other groups like sysops and stewards). there is no "confirmed" user right (i.e. nobody has a right with such name).
• "autoconfirmed" and "confirmed" are names of two user groups with mostly same rights (both include "autoconfirmed" right)
• the value of $wgNamespaceProtection is a list of rights. So the patch requires user to have "confirmed" right (in addition to autoconfirmed) to edit modules, which is held by nobody. i.e. nobody can edit any modules.
