Bug #: 28525
Summary: MediaWiki:mwe-upwiz-source-ownwork-assert-any-license
needs working GENDER suport
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: UploadWizard
AssignedTo: ne...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net
CC: asha...@wikimedia.org,
bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net
Classification: Unclassified
The message in MediaWiki:mwe-upwiz-source-ownwork-assert-any-license
is having this problem:
* The parameter can be both a user name and a real name (or possibly any
nonsense that a wiki user typed)
* The message should support GENDER for the user name case.
There is no way to safely do this since a real name of one person may well be a
username of another person. Simply using GENDER and accepting the case "user
not found" as "unspecified gender" would not work. Since the upload wizard is
likely meant to be a quite central piece being heavily used in Wikimedia
Commons in the future, we need a workable solution.
There are at least these messages in Extension:
having the same problem:
* MediaWiki:Wm-license-self-multiple-licenses-with-author
* MediaWiki:Wm-license-self-one-license-with-author
* MediaWiki:Wm-license-pd-author-with-author-any-purpose
* MediaWiki:Wm-license-pd-author-with-author-text
It may be worth finding a common solution for them all.
