--- Comment #34 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- For the record, MediaWiki:Signupstart and MediaWiki:Signupend were removed in <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/67233> by S Page and Matt Flaschen. The messages were left in messages.inc, MessagesEn.php, and MessagesQqq.php, but the calling code was removed. Rather than being called directly from includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php, the messages were called from includes/templates/Userlogin.php and includes/templates/Usercreate.php. This means that in addition to being a breaking change (that continues to be undocumented at [[mw:Account creation user experience/Strings]], which is referenced from the 1.22 release notes), this particular change is especially annoying to track down because: * it uses a template system that no other part of the site interface uses and * the message keys still exist in 1.22, however they're simply not used anywhere. I'd forgotten why I was so annoyed earlier this year at this series of changes by the now-defunct "E3" team and I've now re-remembered what an unacceptable, shameful, and apparently unsupervised development process took place. I hope this issue can be corrected prior to the release of 1.22.0 final. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
