Namespaces localization errors in Galician
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After the release of MediaWiki 1.18 we have been noticing some errors with the
update in Galician (gl) Wikipedia. We have been reported about some namespaces
which are shown in fallback language (which is pt), making "User" and "User
talk" namespaces being presented as "Utilizador" and "Utilizador Discussão"
instead of Galician's "Usuario" and "Conversa usuario", respectively.
Apparently, this only occurs in some user pages, not all wiki.


Version: 1.18.x

Can you check if it happens to you if you change your gender in preferences?

Changing my gender to:
*female -> the software still shows the namespaces in Portuguese: "Utilizadora" (note that this is the female version) and "Utilizador Discussão" (note that this is male version, so I suppose it should be "Utilizadora Discussão", check with them)
*unknown -> "User" namespace is OK showing "Usuario" but "User_talk" is shown in pt "Utilizador Discussão" (though the URL is correct as it shows "Conversa usuario" in gl)

r99630 might help, should be deployed by next Monday at the latest.

So, I understand that once we have that changes deployed, this bug would be fixed?

To my current best knowledge, yes.

Yup, the fix wasn't deployed yet :( It is not forgotten!
