"Administrator" displayed instead of "Bureaucrat" beside username

I'll figure out what they've done to add this.

For some odd reason, when viewing page revisions, "Username (Administrator)" is displayed beside my name despite being in the bureaucrat group (bureaucrat, sysop, widgeteditor in that order under ug_group in the db). Where everyone else's displays "Username (Bureaucrat)" and I can't quite figure out why. Any idea on how to remedy this? I already tried "createAndPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop [user] [password] --force" which does nothing because I'm already a bureaucrat, there are no jobs in the job queue, I've hard-refreshed, I tried removing and re-adding administrator rights, I'm at a loss as to how to correct the display of this. )(Also: I know 1.33 is old, we're upgrading to 1.35 on a test site currently but waiting until we have VE working to switch). Thanks.

What is actually appending the "(Administrator)" label? is that an extension or JS script?. I believe core is not doing that, so the first thing to do is to figure out what's adding it in the first place.

Ah, interesting. I'll have to look. I (incorrectly) assumed it was core doing it. Thanks for taking the time.
