About the "Meet the Moderators" sectionEdit

I know that on the right hand side of the page, if there are any Discussion or Content Moderators on the wiki, they will be displayed there. However I've never actually known what happens, if a user happens to be a Discussion Moderator and a Content Moderator. Does one override the other on the page? Like, a user showing up as a Content Moderator, but being a Discussion Moderator as well? Or vice-versa? What exactly happens if a user is in both user-groups? ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 10:13, November 16, 2016 (UTC)

You could promote an alt of yours to just those two user rights on any one of your wikis and see what happens from there.--Annabeth and Percy~They say you gotta take the good with the bad. I'll take it all as long as I have you. 16:18, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
True. Unfortunately I'm only a bureaucrat on two wikis - I was a bureaucrat on several other wikis but I retired from them - one of the wikis that I'm a bureaucrat on doesn't have the Special:Community Page. I only have one other account, but the wiki that has the Special:Community Page on it, the other account is flagged as a bot since it's a bot account. And I don't really want to create an alternate account at the moment. I could test it on my main account, but the Special:Community page only updates the list of users in user-groups once a day, and I need my admin flags to perform certain tasks, even if I don't revoke my bureaucrat flags. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 19:30, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
Everything explodes in a shower of sparks! Actually, no - I believe it just displays the user once as a member as one of the groups. From some quick checks, it looks like Discussions Moderator takes precedence as the icon shown (likely because the group comes first in the code).

So that would mean that the Discussion Moderator icon would show up instead of the Content Moderator one for a user in both user-groups? ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 21:53, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
Aye, that's what I'm seeing. Is that a particular concern? Kirkburn  talk  contr  @fandom  21:58, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
No, not at all. Just something that got me wondering. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 21:59, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
