There is no "[Gg]lobal_bot" user group/right for the AbuseFilter, yet. ("bot" in user_groups) e.g. only works for accounts that have a local bot flag. Note that not all global bots have "bot" in their name but that normal accounts can have "bot" in their name; thus plain user name sniffing is not suitable in cases where you want to find out if an account is a (global) bot. * you can test an account for being a [local only] bot or not with ("bot" in user_groups) * you can _not_ test an account for being a (global, but not locally flagged) bot or not with ("Global_bot" in user_groups) e.g. Similar request: bug 20272
Note that this, of course, would be intended to whitelist/allow global bots in specific cases, not to block them ;-) ;-)
This is not for only global bot but for all global group (e.g. global sysop, steward, etc) so I changed the title(summary). I guess it's a little hard to get what global groups the user has because global groups isn't managed by the MediaWiki core but by a MediaWiki extension ([[mw:Extension:CentralAuth]]?). But we (I mean we are jawiki's users at least) are very anxious for this.
The thing corresponding to GlobalGroupPermissions and globalgroupmembership is hoped for.
If we can write, ("bot" in user_groups or "globalbot" in global_user_group) it would be helpful.
