Bug ID: 70838
Summary: The message
wikibase-propertyedittool-counter-entrieslabel needs
to include the number itself
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

The current value of the wikibase-propertyedittool-counter-entrieslabel message
is "{{PLURAL:$1|entry|entries}}".
The actual number is inserted using other messages:
wikibase-ui-pendingquantitycounter-nonpending and
wikibase-ui-pendingquantitycounter-pending.
In some languages the number affects not just the form of the subject ("entry"
or "entries"), but also the place of the number in the expression. For example,
in Hebrew "one" comes after the word, but other number come before it.
By itself this could be fixed by translating
ibase-ui-pendingquantitycounter-nonpending and
wikibase-ui-pendingquantitycounter-pending to Hebrew, but these messages can
have not only entries (wikibase-propertyedittool-counter-entrieslabel), but
also references
(wikibase-statementview-referencesheading-pendingcountersubject), and the
grammar of numbers used for the words entries and references is different.
The best solution would be to let MediaWiki handle the grammar and the number
using the messages wikibase-propertyedittool-counter-entrieslabel and
wikibase-statementview-referencesheading-pendingcountersubject, rather than
doing it in functions in the Wikibase extension (the one I found is
wb.utilities.ui.buildPendingCounter(), and it gets complicated further).
