Description AP 2008-07-12 19:21:28 UTC
Having looked at the rights logs across Wikimedia wikis recently, the current ones seem to look wrong.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 is one such example
The current description is (example here):
18:54, 8 July 2008 Admin changed group membership for Testuser from (none) to Sysops, Bureaucrats (comment goes here)
when it looked better as:
18:54, 8 July 2008 Admin changed group membership for Testuser from (none) to sysop, bureaucrat (comment goes here)

I think it looks a bit odd, and think that it should probably be reverted, especially since I feel that it's only really Special:Listusers that should have them in uppercase.

It's nothing more than a stylistic change, rather than a bugfix, but I would like someone to fix this please.

I can change to group name to group member name, but I cannot help the capital letter unless someone fixes the messages to not to use one.

Can you provide it in patch form: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_(Unix)
Full files are hard to work with.
Comment 4 AP 2008-07-12 19:35:57 UTC
Niklas,
I made the changes in the above one for the following part of the Messages.php for language:
# Groups
'group'               => 'Group:',
'group-user'          => 'user',
'group-autoconfirmed' => 'autoconfirmed',
'group-bot'           => 'bots',
'group-sysop'         => 'sysop',
'group-bureaucrat'    => 'bureaucrat',
'group-suppress'      => 'oversight',
'group-all'           => '(all)',

previously it was all capitalised, e.g. Sysops, Bureaucrats etc.

The reason I suggested this fix was because the rights log is saying User:Foobar has had their rights changed from none to a sysop, whereas Special:Listusers says they are a sysop etc. hence the capitalisation.
