link to special:userlogin Comment: I'm not sure that this change makes the message less confusing: WMF usage of the extension is particularly complex because it relies on a third party hence it required [http://wikimedia.amellus.net/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Securepoll-not-logged-in&oldid=7 this] rephrasement («You've not been recognized by the system. Make sure that you've followed the instructions on [...] and that you've enabled cookies for this domain»); but in general, while it's true that logging in is a requirement, it's usually not true that every registered user can vote, so inviting unregistered users to register (implying that they'll then be able to vote) seems confusing. On a side note, "[having an] account" is not consistently translated, at least in Italian, where it may need to be translated as "being registered", and the usage of an adjective makes the message not gender neutral and would require <nowiki>{{GENDER}}</nowiki>. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
