           Summary: The coll-n_pages message is not formatted properly
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
               URL: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/Special:
                    Book/add_article/?arttitle=Main+Page&oldid=0
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: i18n
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Collection
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


The current number of pages in the book is shown using the
[[MediaWiki:coll-n_pages]] message. The message uses the {{PLURAL:}} magic word
to properly distinguish between “1 page” and “2 pages”. However, the
support for this magic word has been (unintentionally, I guess…) removed in
r54273 where the message processing was changed from

wfMsgExt( 'coll-n_pages', array( 'parsemag' ), $wgLang->formatNum( $numArticles
) )

to

wfMsg( 'coll-n_pages', $numArticles )

which cannot work correctly (and this wfMsg has been changed to wfMsgHtml
since). So that currently, the message always reads “pages”, even for only
1 page in the book (see the linked URL).

(And Siebrand also noted at
<http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support#coll-n_pages_needs_PLURAL_support> that
“wfMsgHtml sucks and its use is discouraged.”)
