Since MediaWiki 1.18 the user group "autoreview" (FlaggedRevs) is not implicit and therefor can be add/removed from a user.
Please allow sysops on wikis with this user group to add and/or remove this user group.
Thanks.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Why is there no action since one week?
The new feature (bug 29655) is useless, when sysops have no permission to remove the group.

It was reported that also bureaucrates cannot remove users from this user group.
This isn't a shell bug
It needs fixing in FR (seemingly a regression), commiting, then pushing to site
Moving to FR

It's not a regression. It was never removable. Now it is. It just needs to have addGroups/removeGroups set.
Was worth the clarification
Umherirrender, does this want doing everywhere that has FR enabled then?
One option is to just have the extension itself let sysops add/remove the group by default. Since it already does this for 'editors' (which have more rights that 'review'), that might be the most logical approach.

Seems sensible/saner TBH
I have create a shell bug, because I do not know, if this should be part of the extension.
I am requesting the rights only for WMF wikis.
Please tag that rev for 1.18 and moving this bug to FlaggedRevs component or fix this bug by changing the config settings on wmf wikis. Thanks.
