             Bug #: 38116
           Summary: "protected" system message lacks subject not like
                    "moved" system message
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Internationalization

MediaWiki:Logentry-move-move ("$1 moved page $3 to $4") has subject in the
message as "$1", and it generates a message like "Penn Station moved page AAA
to BBB" CONSISTENTLY in BOTH log and page history (summary). There is no
problem when translating it into Japanese like "Penn Station
がページ「AAA」を「BBB」にに移動しました".

However, the following are used DIFFERENTLY between log and page history.

* MediaWiki:Protectedarticle ("protected "[[$1]]"")
* MediaWiki:Unprotectedarticle ("removed protection from "[[$1]]"")
* MediaWiki:Modifiedarticleprotection ("changed protection level for "[[$1]]"")

For example, 
* "Penn Station protected "[[AAA]]"" in protection log
* "protected "[[AAA]]"" in page history (summary) --- No subject!

This is inconsistent with MediaWiki:Logentry-move-move and causes the following
problem in Japanese messages.

When I translated MediaWiki:Protectedarticle into Japanese - i.e. 
created MediaWiki:Protectedarticle/ja with "が「[[$1]]」を保護しました",
it generates the following messages:

* "Penn Station が「[[$1]]」を保護しました" in protection log --- OK
* "が「[[$1]]」を保護しました" in page history (summary) --- Strange message

The fist one in protection log is OK, but the second one in page history is
strange because of lacking subject such as "Penn Station".
Japanese statements do not start with "が", but needs subject prior to "が".

Is it possible to put subject into page history like log?
I think that there is originally an inconsistency between move and protect in
page history even in English.

Regards,
Penn Station
