Did you ever notice when using Special:Log and doing user rights (adds &type=rights to end) that filling a username in (producing &user=NAME) doesn't produce results, and rather instead it's the title field that has to be filled (producing &page=User:NAME) to actually get the records? It's really odd and I was wondering if it was a bug or something, seems to appear on a lot of wikis.

Actually in typing this out I think I'm figuring it out... when you fill out the user field, it produces logs of when users have made user rights change actions, whereas filling out title/page as User:USERNAME produces all rights changes related to that username?
