Please make that the 'patrolmarks' permission be avalaible as a global permission. Actually there's no checkbox for it at Special:GlobalGroupPermissions. Example of missing checkbox: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/sysadmin> Note: I see this is kind of an implicit group to sysops unless you change the config at InitialiseSettings.php for the project ie: eswiki: ('*' => array( 'patrolmarks' => true ),) Thank you.
That's odd, I thought all groups were supposed to show on that page...
Nobody has the 'patrolmarks' right by default in MediaWiki. The right 'patrol' implies 'patrolmarks'. They can't be separated because it doesn't make sense to be able to patrol without seeing what you can and can't patrol. There is one usage of 'patrolmarks' in MediaWiki: User::useRCPatrol/useNPPatrol. Since nobody has it, MediaWiki doesn't know about it. The following is commented out in DefaultSettings.php: //$wgGroupPermissions['*']['patrolmarks'] = false; // let anons see what was patrolled So it is not even explicitly set to 'false' for anyone either. Moving to MediaWiki core since this is a bug in MediaWIki. It should be included in the coreRights registry and be explicitly set to false or true for at least one user group.
Only 2 lines of code need to change (User.php and DefaultSettings): (In reply to comment #2) > included in the coreRights registry and be explicitly set to false or true for > at least one user group. Will take this next week if nobody else does. Easy one for a new developer as well.
Fixed in Gerrit change #19203.
