Description

Background

We are exploring adapting the default logged in experience to show the personal menu. However when enabling the personal menu, it currently results in duplicate elements in the advanced menu.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Add the following to LocalSettings.php:

$wgMinervaPersonalMenu['loggedin'] = true;
$wgMinervaPersonalMenu['amc'] = true;
$wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu['loggedin'] = false;
$wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu['amc'] = false;

Visit a page and log in

What happens?:

There are two menus with duplicate items

What should have happened instead?:

The items in the personal menu should not be repeated in the main menu

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
