This discussion is directed towards the staff of the wiki.

I have recently received a question asking for us to remove our duplicate rights to help clean up our user groups. Meaning, that if you are an Admin, you should remove all groups that come with having Admin status. Doing so would help clean the Special:ListUsers page. By removing all of our duplicate groups, it would be much more organized and to the point on what rights certain users have. The amount of users in the content and chat mod groups is a bit deceiving at the moment. I think it would be a good idea to clean out any duplicate rights because there is really no downside in us doing so.

Here are the duplicate rights that should be removed:


 * If one is a Bureaucrat, do not remove it or your Admin groups because they are distinct groups. All of your other groups should be removed.


 * If one is an Admin, remove rollback, patroller, and all moderator groups.


 * If one is a content moderator, remove rollback.

Please reply with any questions or concerns you may have.
