Bug #: 33630
Summary: Incorrect use of wfMsg in Linker.php, or parser cache
bug
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
In Linker.php we have
$defaults['title'] = wfMsg( 'red-link-title', $target->getPrefixedText() );
which causes the tooltip text "$1 (page does not exist)" to be translated to
the user's interface language. This seems reasonable enough, but unfortunately
this also gets saved into the parser cache. As such, other users may see the
link title translated into the wrong language. It seems that the right thing to
do is to use wfMsgForContent instead of wfMsg.
To reproduce, change the interface language to, say, Interlingua, and save an
edit to any (new) page with red links. The red links will have their tooltip
text in Interlingua even when viewed anonymously. For some reason I have
difficulty reproducing this problem on pages which already exist.
