            Bug ID: 69905
           Summary: Tooltip "page does not exist" for red links is
                    displayed in interface language of the last user who
                    edited the page
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.24-git
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Internationalization

I. How to reproduce the issue:

1) Switch your interface language to A (where A is a language different from
the default language of this wiki).
2) Edit any page that has a redlink.
3) Logout. Open the page you just edited and put a mouse over the redlink.

The tooltip will be shown in language A.
But it must be shown in the default language of this wiki.

II. Impact: foreign interwiki bots change tooltips on every article they touch.

III. Possible cause: this interface message is somehow cached improperly.
action=purge restores the correct value.
