Description

Makesysop extension has been removed (see bug 20291), but the "makesysop" right is still given to bureaucrats and stewards (in CommonSettings.php) and thus visible on Special:ListGroupRights. This right should be removed since it's now useless. Thanks!

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
