Description James Alexander 2012-02-08 00:39:19 UTC
Currently the easiest and most common ways of finding who belongs to a global group appear to be broken. I'm not sure if this is 1 issue or multiple so going to walk through a couple different ways to replicate using the 'staff' global group as an example.

A: Try to see list of global users with the staff right by going to Special:GlobalUsers/Staff (such as https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsers/Staff ).

Expected: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag. (similar to if you go to Special:ListUsers/sysop you get a list of local sysops)

Received: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag and are alphabetically after an invisible User:Staff (The group drop down box is selected as Staff and the 'Display users starting at:' is prefilled with 'Staff'

B: Try to see list of global users with the staff right by: 
* Going to Special:GlobalUsers
* Selecting 'Staff' from the drop down box for the 'Group' drop down box
* Press 'go' 
(similar to if you go to Special:ListUsers and select 'sysop' from the group drop down and press go you get a list of local sysops).

Expected: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag. (similar to if you go to Special:ListUsers/sysop you get a list of local sysops)

Received: Empty list with url https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=Staff&limit=50 (The group drop down box is reset to the default '(all)' setting and nothing is in the 'Display users starting at:' box.

C: Try to see list of global users with the staff right by viewing the staff global group at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/Staff and clicking 'List of users with Staff rights'.


Expected: List of users who have the global 'staff' flag. (similar to if you go to Special:ListUsers/sysop you get a list of local sysops)

Recieved: See letter A above (redirected to Special:GlobalUsers/Staff )



So far the only work around I've found is to use Special:GlobalUsers?group=Staff for a certain group. (there is no direct link to that that I know of.

This sounds vaguely familiar to a bug we had in core.. I think..
Comment 2 Nemo 2012-07-31 08:40:47 UTC
A is bug 34016.
B is bug 31638.
C is A.

Note that there are more; this bug should be either considered a tracking bug or closed as a duplicate of bug 34016.
