I'm going to describe the setup in which I found this bug to be most noticeable first: Need a group which can only be added or removed from yourself, such as the flood group for sysops. Entry your name without "User:" included in Special:UserRights: * User page link works. * Groups you can add and remove for anyone and yourself are enabled. Now try again with "User:" included in Special:UserRights: * User page link works. The user page linked to is the same. * Groups you can add and remove from anyone are enabled. * Groups you could only add and remove from yourself are now disabled. I think the special page should either consistently work or consistently fail when you include the "User:" namespace with the username. With the user page link and other groups working correctly the difference is subtle enough that I thought the problem might of been elsewhere until I noticed the difference.
Should be fixed by r66258
