* (bug 17160) Gender specific display text for User namespace Second attempt for this thing.. Comment: User::isValidUserName( $username ) is only check for the valid of a username (non-ip or so), not for existing. For a non-existing user the method GenderCache::doQuery is called. That method does a db select, but the username is not found in the table "user" and so the result is empty/does not contain the non-existing user and therefore is not added to the cache. That is the reason for the undefined (see the comment "Undefined if there is a valid username which for some reason doesn't exist in the database.") I have open bug 30972 _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
