             Bug #: 29450
           Summary: GENDER in Blockipsuccesstext refers to the gender of
                    the blocking admin instead of the gender of the
                    blocked user
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: i18n
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Blocking
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


The message Blockipsuccesstext supports GENDER, but its actual implementation
in the Hebrew Wikipedia is wrong: GENDER:$1 apparently refers to the gender of
the blocking admin, not of the blocked user. When i block an IP, i get the
female version when i have my gender set to female in the preferences. (I'm a
guy, but i do it intentionally to find problems like this one :)

Another strange think is that MediaWiki:Blockipsuccesstext was deleted there in
the Hebrew Wikipedia, so it is supposed to be equal to the message as it
appears in MessagesHe.php, but actually it isn't.

And in the Hebrew Wikisource User:MediaWiki default deleted this message in
2007 with the summary "No longer required".
