Description

Author: mike.lifeguard+bugs

Description:
Your IP address has been blocked on all wikis by Dungodung (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given was "testing (with permission)". The block's expiry is expires 20:30, 21 August 2008.

The language here is wrong - the string for the expiry either needs to be a time (ie indef, 2 weeks... instead of when it expires) or the log entry text needs to be changed such that an expiry time/date makes grammatical sense.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Fixed in r39787. Param $4 is Block::formatExpiry(), which automatically adds "expires 2008....). Message should now read "The block expires ....."

Revision marked as fixme.

Mike.lifeguard, is this grammar error still reproducible? Thanks.

Of course not, it was replaced with another grammar error by the "fix", as noted in comment 2. :)
According to [[translatewiki:MediaWiki:Globalblocking-blocked/qqq]], error is still there.

Looking at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Globalblocking-ipblocked/en this no longer seems to be a problem. Can this task be closed?
