Sometimes '', sometimes '-' (handled by Message:isBlank and Message::isDisabled) however those are not generic APIs. The message system does not use these methods. They are available for local code to use if they want to. So there's no way of knowing whether an individual message "supports" that behaviour, and even then we currently have some use '' and some use '-' ('' is a safe bet for both). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
