Allow "other authors" of an extension to be localized in Special:Version.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The Exension:Interwiki For instance has a list of authors shown in Special:Version
The English version of it end with " and others"
If you switch to another language, the "and" is localized, while others" is not.

This is because list separators and "and" are insterted programmatically when
the page is rendered, while "others" is included in ths list verbatim, as if
another name was meant. Of course this is not so.

Trivially replacing " 'other' " with " wfMsg('something') " does not work.
Thus, we must introduce a special marker for 'others' in the list and
handle it in the redering program code as well, where it can be localized.

'...' would probably be a nice marker.

Done in r81549; doesn't add any new messages as version-poweredby-others is already used in the main author list on this page.
