Reported on enwiki at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Protect-text#Confirm_protection_dropdowns Gerrit change #153302 inadvertently changed the ordering of the levels in $wgRestrictionLevels for wikis not using the default levels. For example, on enwiki the array was coming out as array(5) { [0]=> string(14) "templateeditor" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(13) "autoconfirmed" [3]=> string(5) "sysop" [4]=> string(12) "superprotect" } The protection form displays the protection levels in the same order, while admins on-wiki would expect to see "Allow all users" ('') first and "Allow only template editors and admins" ('templateeditor') third. To get the proper ordering, it looks like we'll have to specify the entire array rather than using the '+' syntax in InitialiseSettings.php.

Also affects Portuguese Wikipedia, where the order of the options on https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Example&action=protect&uselang=en changed from 1. Default 2. Allow only autoconfirmed users 3. Allow only autoreviewer users 4. Allow only administrators to 3. Allow only autoreviewer users 1. Default 2. Allow only autoconfirmed users 4. Allow only administrators
(In reply to Helder from comment #3) > Also affects Portuguese Wikipedia True, thanks. Also arwiki, ckbwiki, hewiki, plwiki, rowiki, and testwiki.
Brad proposed change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/154376 will fix the issue. It is too late for me (10pm) to deploy it right now, so I guess it will be deployed on Monday. Sorry for the delay, I am too paranoid / tired to risk causing some havoc on the cluster =]
