--- Comment #6 from Brad Jorsch <bjor...@wikimedia.org> --- (In reply to Mark A. Hershberger from comment #4) > To be clear, their LocalSettings.php contains the following line: > > $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = false; Yes, that would remove the permission. Even though it has no effect for anons, it is assigned to '*' by default rather than 'user' to allow code to short-circuit more expensive per-user permissions checks by using User::isEveryoneAllowed(). > It looks like the interpretation of permissions changed between 1.22 and > 1.23 I doubt that. It looks more like you're just confused here, thinking that 'editmyoptions' is given by default to 'user' rather than (or in addition to) '*'. > because, when I take a new installation of MW 1.22 and 1.23, the > permissions for 'editmyoptions' don't change. Instead, they remain as if > they were the following: > > $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = true; > $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editmyoptions'] = false; The second line here no effect. I can't make any sense of why you are making this statement. > Now that I > look at this, I think what the person needs to do in 1.23 is > > $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = false; > $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editmyoptions'] = true; No, what they need to do is not screw with the assignments for editmyoptions and the other 'my' permissions at all.

I'll give you one chance to provide actual evidence for this speculation before I close this again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
