RTL languages on Meta Branded theme show team-only links

Description

If you pick an RTL language in your interface settings, you will see that the site header contains some links that aren’t normally there. See the screenshot for more information.

The 2 new icons are as following:

  • The mail icon leads to https://meta.discourse.org/my/messages/group/team
  • The group icon with a plus leads to https://meta.discourse.org/g/tech-advocates/assigned/tech-advocates

Naturally, as I am not a team member nor a tech advocate, both pages return 404s.

Repro Steps

  1. Go to /my/preferences/interface.
  2. Select the Meta Branded theme.
  3. Select an RTL language (e.g. Persian).
  4. Press ‘Save Changes’.
  5. You will see those icons in the site header that do not appear to non-team members.

Additional Comments

You will probably need to be on a account that is not in team or tech-advocates [1].


  1. FYI, that was not a group ping but an <a class="mention"></a>. ↩︎
