  • $user: User or UserRightsProxy object that was changed
  • $add: Array of strings corresponding to groups added
  • $remove: Array of strings corresponding to groups removed

If the $user parameter was a UserRightsProxy object, this user rights change was performed on a different wiki. This means that you might be mislead into identifying a user based on information such a name or ID because they do not share that attribute on the local wiki - it will almost certainly point to a different user entirely.

Additionally, the $user parameter could be a CentralAuthGroupMembershipProxy object from Extension:CentralAuth in the case of a global user rights change. The information given by this object represents a global account shared across wikis, and the ID will not match the attached local account IDs.
