--- Comment #1 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> 2011-12-23 17:37:32 UTC --- This is for grammatical genders, which depends on the language, and is for choosing appropriate grammatical forms: pronouns (as in English), adjective and noun agreement (as in Romance and Germanic languages), verb agreement (as in Semitic languages), etc. For English this gives a trinary system, currently labeled as 'male' (usually goes with "he"/"him"/"his"), 'female' (usually goes with "she/her/her"), and 'undisclosed' (probably tends to "they/them/their" though I haven't checked lately). These won't come up all that often for English, relatively. In other languages, there may be different choices, and the actual results of choosing a gender will be more far-reaching (eg appropriate grammatical forms for the 'User:' namespace). I suspect better labeling would be appropriate, but I'm not sure what additional options would actually accomplish in English specifically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
