Description Nobody 2009-01-10 04:41:02 UTC 
Currently, the functions built into the Oversight extension are split between HideRevision and Oversight, yet Special:GlobalGroupPermissions treats them as a single assignable right (Oversight).

Part of the "Review Board" solution on en.wikipedia relies on a "Review Board" solution with access to logs (checkuser-log and oversight) but without the ability to perform checkusers or hiderevisions.

Future group creation (such as an expansion of the Ombudsman role for the WMF) would be enhanced with splitting these functions so they may be separately assignable in Special:GlobalGroupPermissions

I'm afraid I don't know if this is a configuration change for Wikimedia, or requires a modification of the CentralAuth extension itself.
Comment 1 Mike.lifeguard 2009-01-10 04:55:44 UTC 
This is really weird - globalgrouppermissions should simply detect the rights and their descriptions... I can't figure out why it wouldn't do so in this case.
Comment 2 Andrew Garrett 2009-02-20 20:00:49 UTC 
They're both there, but with a strange description.

Changed "Review and restore revisions hidden from administrators" description for 'oversight' right to 	"Hide revisions from administrators" in r47575.
