Discrepancy between abilities and privilege page
On the abilities page for a moderator/admin (ex. Monica Cellio), there is a differnce between the abilities list which shows all privileges with a check mark and "yes" under "Earned", and the individual privilege pages which show an X mark and the text "... has not yet earned this ability. However, as a moderator ... still has all abilities".
I would expect the two to match, at least in terms of the checkmark/X mark.

This is by design, as those pages serve different purposes:
-
the overview page (/abilities) serves the purpose to give you quick summary, which Abilities exist and what a user may or may not do. For this, it doesn't matter how you got that Ability, so we are simplifying it.
-
the detail page (/abilities/X) intends to show you detailed explanation about an Ability and your progress towards it. Hence we show what you need to properly gain the Ability and, if you got it via the moderator status, that information.
It's also (a little bit) a question of performance, because calculating whether you only got an ability because of moderator status is a bit more complex in our approach.
