Commit summary:
Make Language::formatTimePeriod() more flexible so it can produce stuff like '3
hours ago'.
* Add a $noAbbrevs parameter that causes the 'seconds', 'minutes', etc.
messages to be used instead of the 'seconds-abbrev', 'minutes-abbrev', etc.
messages
* Add the 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours' and 'days' messages
* Change the -abbrev messages to take a parameter rather than having the number
prepended to them. This is for compatibility with 'seconds' et al, which need
the parameter for {{PLURAL:}}. It also generally makes more sense. This does
BREAK the messages in non-English languages that override them; Niklas told me
to leave this alone and ping the TranslateWiki folks
* Introduce an 'ago' message for '$1 ago'. Not currently used in core, but I
want to use it in an extension and it seemed stupid not to have such a thing in
core.
* Refactor the function to use message objects and pass the number as a
parameter
* Add tests! They exposed a subtle bug in my first iteration; all hail tests!
Comment:
Could you please add some message documentation in the qqq section for
translatewiki.net translators. Especially 'ago' is unclear outside the context
of this commit.
