title: Mediawiki purge as a user right
body: <p>Using Mediawiki 1.34.1, PHP 7.4.5, and MySQL 8.0.20.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like for any user to be able to purge a page without confirmation.</p>
  
  <p>Reading here it says I can do so by setting a user right:
  <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Purge#Purge_as_a_user_right" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Purge#Purge_as_a_user_right</a></p>
  
  <p>And here it lists 'purge' as the specific user right: <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights</a></p>
  
  <p>And in MediaWiki's DefaultSettings.php it even has the following setting for it:</p>
  
  <p>$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['purge'] = true; // can use ?action=purge without clicking "ok"</p>
  
  <p>However it continually prompts for confirmation, even when logged in.</p>
  
  <p>I've added the same permission statement to LocalSettings.php, but the behavior didn't change.</p>
  
  <p>Does this user right still work?</p>
  
  <p>Or more to the point, how can I avoid the confirmation of the purge?</p>
  
  <p>I've asked at the Mediawiki Support Desk, but haven't gotten any definitive answers, so I was wondering if anyone here might know, or know where I might check in the code to see if that specific user right is still effective.</p>
