Thread:Support/Problems with the use of GRAMMAR

In the translatable pages of, we have quite many references to , having varying syntactical contexts and, at least when translated, grammatically declensed forms. Trying to get them using  is completely futile at the moment, all I get out if it is , whatever   is. This applies both to section preview during translation, and the translated page itself.

When inserting GRAMMAR syntax in interface messages: (At least, [ a sample edit of MediaWiki:Summary/ksh] did)
 * message preview does not show the desired results, but
 * messages shown in the interface itself do.

Tests outside lead me to this diagnoses:
 * Pages under "page translation" are rendered using the wiki language and its GRAMMAR, regardless of the language of the page.
 * Previewed pages are rendered using the wiki language and its GRAMMAR, regardless of the language of the page.
 * Interface messages (but not pages in the "MediaWiki" namespace) are rendered using the user language or uselang= language and its GRAMMAR, regardless of the language of the message.
 * Also interface message taken from fallback languages are rendered using the user language or uselang= language and its GRAMMAR, regardless of the fallback language.

As one can easily see, all this is unwanted behavior, except in the case of interface messages coming from the user language or the uselang= language.
