Manual talk:User rights (older versions)

Discuss Help:User rights management page here:

Moving to Manual
For the same reasons as the Help:User rights page, this all needs to be moved out of the Help pages, and merged into the Manual pages.

See discussion at Help talk:User rights

...as a side note though, I'm not clear why this page needs to exist alongside that other page, or why we have some much information about old unsupported versions.

 * I don't have any problem with moving this page. But what do you mean with information about old unsupported versions? 1) I only recently made this page and 2) this page tells about 1.11, the most recent version of MediaWiki and about 1.12, not even released.

 * Sorry. I was talking bollocks. I thought this was a very out-of-date old page, but I was just misreading the version numbers (only looked at it very quickly).
 * I'm not sure if it's clear what information belongs on Help:User rights as opposed to here on Help:User rights management. Maybe they should be merged. I don't know. One to figure out later maybe. In any case I'll go ahead with a move to the Manual some time soon.

 * There is a difference between those pages. Help:User rights answers on the question Which group has or should have which rights? and Help:User rights management answers on the question Which group manages/assigns or should manage/assign which group?. Both pages are related, though there is a difference. I don't think that information about for example $wgAddGroups belong on Help:User rights. Actually, the page should be called Help:User groups management. And, if they would be merged, the page would be too long, imo. SPQRobin 18:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
