Investigate and kill editor user group on test.wikipedia.org (testwiki)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I haven't had much time to poke at this, but there was an "editor" user group at test.wikipedia.org (testwiki) at some point. It seems to no longer be available at [[testwiki:Special:UserRights/Az1568]], but it still has members (cf. [[testwiki:Special:ListUsers/Az1568]]). This may require a steward or a clever API user or a sysadmin to empty the user group, assuming it should be empty.

available at [[testwiki:Special:UserRights/Az1568]], but it still has members
(cf. [[testwiki:Special:ListUsers/Az1568]]). This may require a steward or a
clever API user or a sysadmin to empty the user group, assuming it should be
empty.

This could also be said about other "hanging" user rights in general, such as local autopatrolled on Wikidata and other rights that are still assigned to users but removed.

No, the issue on Wikidata was resolved by Reedy in bug 56945.

There is no longer an editor user groups on testwiki, per https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights

The described issue still persists, even with the same example as provided in the task description.

https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/Az1568 no longer shows an editor group. Assuming this was resolved at some point.
