Logentry-rights-* and gender

CLOSED This issue is closed

Tracked at bugzilla:24156 (vote, scream on wikitech-l, create a petition, ...?).

I believe Logentry-rights-rights ("$1 changed group membership for $3 from $4 to $5"), Logentry-rights-rights-legacy ("$1 changed group membership for $3"), and Logentry-rights-autopromote ("$1 was automatically promoted from $4 to $5") should use the {{GENDER:$2|changed}} syntax in the original English message so the translations are not marked as problematic due to unsupported $2, which should be supported in all log entry messages.

Isn't this the infamous bugzilla:24156 whose fix was vetoed by Tim?

Yes. I've added keyword "platformeng". Allegedly that should help.

D’oh! You mean the whole gender support in log entries was reverted? I did not really notice that (except I spotted a few gender removals, but I thought they were special cases). But if that’s the case, {{logentry}} should be updated as well, because using a quick grep, I found at least 112 messages with “logentry” and “gender” currently committed.

Not the whole support, just {{GENDER}} calls were removed because they were inefficient (apparently they are not anymore but they haven't been restored yet).

I see; the GENDER seems to work correctly (on logentry-rights-*, at least), it was just removed because of a performance issue. All right then, I’ll let it be now, and wait for possible future restoration.
