--- Comment #10 from Purodha Blissenbach <[email protected]> 2011-03-15 23:32:47 UTC --- We have Medmaacher (with spelling variant Metmaacher) for masculine, neuter, and unknown, and Medmaachėrn (with spelling variant Metmaacherin) for female1 and female2. Literally, these words translate to "corroborator", "participant". I was speaking generally. If you have 2 base words, only one can be currently used as the standard word. While it does not have to be the same word all the times, in one place/situaton only one can be generated. Btw. We did not and do have varying namespacenames per gender set. This morning, I wanted to quickly figure what exactly to do for it. While the current system of male/female is indeed easily set up, I detected that we need to have 20 choices to cover all cases occurring in our grammar when talking _about_ users (including "unknown" cases but not counting T/F forms, or polite forms, or forms addressing people) These 20 choices can be experessed with two variables having 5 and 4 possible values, respectively, one being the "grammatical gender" (declension properties) of the name or nickname, the other being the "natural gender" of a user. One can use "<user-or-bot-name> altered <his/her/its> userpage." as a key sentence which has all 20 variantes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- 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
