Description

[[m:Special:AggregateGroups]]
Click the red marker next to a page name

I. Expected: the page is removed from the group (possibly after a refresh).
II. Actual: nothing happens.

Go to the bottom of the page, click add new group, enter a name, click save.

III. Expected: a new group is created (possibly after a refresh) and I can add pages to it.
IV. Actual: nothing happens; using a description doesn't matter; sometimes complains about name already being in use (but group is not displayed on the page); on Chromium, sometimes dialog opens with text "database query error".

Tested with Firefox (with or without JavaScript to avoid interaction with bug 52216) and Chromium.
Provisionally marking as dependent on bug 53769, bug 53748.

That's a more generic one on slowness, probably duplicate of bug 53748. Thanks for pointing out, I would never have found it in Wikimedia product.

I just added "Access to nonpublic information policy" to the aggregate group "Policies". It took 54 seconds, and succeeded. So if you're patient, you can get it done. I do agree, that it's much too slow, and we'll address this with some priority.

I never said the contrary. This bug report is about creating new aggregate groups or *removing* pages from existing groups.

I removed the page again, took 59 seconds.

I see, you are right: I confirm it also for new groups. Thank you very much!

I tried again to create a group and I first got an error about it existing already (leftovers from previous attempts), then managed to create it under a new title. I don't know the exact time because I wrote some emails in the meanwhile.
