On the special page Listusers, when browsing by the group of bureaucrat at WP:PT there are 2 users that are shown but that aren't really bureaucrats.
Mediawiki output seems correct. The pt.wikipedia database got 4 users belonging to group "bureaucrat": mysql> select user_name from user > left join user_groups on ug_user=user_id > where ug_group="bureaucrat"; +-----------------+ | user_name | +-----------------+ | Jorge | | Jurema Oliveira | | Muriel Gottrop | | Mschlindwein | +-----------------+ 4 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql>

Jorge (Burocrata, sysop) 2. Jurema Oliveira (Burocrata, sysop) 3. Mschlindwein (Burocrata, sysop) 4. Muriel Gottrop (Burocrata, sysop) After I reported this bug, here, I went to #wikimedia and asked a steward to check Jorge and Jurema Oliveira rights for me, and then while talking to him, we noticed that at the [http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Log/rights rights log], Manuel Anastácio, a ex-bureaucrat, gave user Leslie sysop and bureaucrat rights since Leslie was only elected for admin, this was by mistake. So note that Leslie had(1) bureaucrat rights, and that he didn't appear on the list. And by last that the steward checked, and both Jorge(2) and Jurema Oliveira(3) only have(4) sysop rights. And one more thing, notice that some system messages that the page uses have been translated to portuguese, but the page doesn't update them. (1) Since Leslie have only been elected for sysop, the bureaucrat rights have been removed by the steward. (2) Jorge was a bureaucrat until last January (2005). (3) Jurema Oliveira, like Leslie, had been given by mistake bureaucrat rights, but they have been removed in January. (4) No changes requested for this users rights.
Well, the list does reflect what's in the database -- that's not a bug. As for the steward stuff: I see at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/rights 23:34, 3 Jul 2005 Danny Rights for user "User:Jurema Oliveira@ptwiki" set "" (=sysop) 23:33, 3 Jul 2005 Danny Rights for user "User:Jorge@ptwiki" set "" (=sysop) 23:30, 3 Jul 2005 Danny Rights for user "User:Leslie@ptwiki" set "" (=sysop) If I understand correctly, at the moment a steward action on meta will apply only to the old databases and thus won't be reflected in the new software running at pt.wikipedia.org right now. I took a peek at the database backup from June 23; user_rights table then contained 'sysop,bureaucrat' entries for the following users: * Jorge * Jurema Oliveira * Muriel Gottrop * Mschlindwein That's exactly the state that's been included in the upgraded user_groups table in the new software. Now they're present in the no-longer-used user_rights table for: * Muriel Gottrop * Mschlindwein As near as I can see, the problem is that a steward tried to make changes recently on the old interface, which don't have any affect on the new database.
Marked bug as resolved (invalid), since like the devs say, this is not mediawiki software bug. Best regards and sorry for the reopening of the bug.
