            Bug ID: 47958
           Summary: Make GENDER ignore everything after slash
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.21-git
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Parser

Slashes in user names are not allowed.[1] If the string contains slash(es) and
slash is not the first symbol, we can assume that text before the first slash
is a user name.

If my assumption is correct or is not false, then I'll send a patch for review.
Actually it will be a one-liner.

In CoreParserFunctions::gender(): 
if ( $title && $title->getNamespace() == NS_USER ) {
    $username = $title->getText(); // change to $title->getRootText()
}
