Polish, Czech, Russian Wikipedias have alias in feminine form (source: http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php) - it means that also males can use female alias, for example http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedystka:Leinad (female alias) => http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedysta:Leinad (regular namespace in masculine form). And as I said a few posts ago about bugs <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17160> we are waiting on regular namespace for females (configurable via Preferences) - now it is not possible. > In Russian Wikipedia, if gender is not set, how User: is rendered? > With the male equivalent or there is a neutral form? In Polish default gender is male (details in comment https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17160#c11) and probably the same sitution in other Slavic languages. -- Leinad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
