We are in the business of improving software, and in that process, an intended improvement (in this case using upstream standardised plural definitions over manually maintained ones for both PHP and JavaScript in MediaWiki only), had an unintended side effect. Tests were added[2] on the initial change, but as no test was present for this particular case, this particular breakage went unnoticed. Luckily we have very well educated users who will report and issue -- this bug report is proof of that -- and a very responsive internationalisation development team, that has created a fix within 20 hours of the report being made. Gerrit 23900 has now been merged, including a test, so that future breakage will be prevented. A final note: Our software will keep breaking as we continue to improve it. It's not done on purpose, but it's part of the process. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
