Should be deployed now. Due to some other technical problems, movestable was unable to be removed from autoconfirmed/confirmed, although it was added to autoreview, editor, and bot user groups. Everything else seemed to work as intended. Similar issue to T201265 and the associated patch. See also T414684.
@Seawolf35 I didn't notice that sysops haven't changetags rights. Please add this right to sysop user group (as per discussion). Thanks

^ The patch I've uploaded just now should hopefully fix that. Hopefully I can get that deployed either this evening or on Monday :]
