@jmatazzoni Is this a change we want to make? It makes sense to me. An example of such a page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators (referenced from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Grouppage-sysop).

If so, it could be a good micro-task for our outreach programs.

I think we should do the other one, because not all wikis have written a local page about each user-group (many redlinks, e.g. https://kab.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uslig:ListGroupRights currently)

Checked in betalabs - 'Learn more' points to the specific section on Special:ListGroupRights e.g. when a user is granted Administrators right, in an receved email 'Learn more' will redirect to https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights#sysop

The fix is done along with the fix to T55860: Echo: User rights change : Link to specific row of table that is applicable.
