GENDER needed for 'user'

Macofe (talk)23:54, 25 August 2015

I'm declining this change. $1 is not an actual username, but a hash of random numbers and lettters and I don't think GENDER will support that. An example:

  • MarcoAurelio sent an email to 2h3rtz5f45g58f

On the other hand, even if this was supported, this is designed to provide anonymity. CheckUsers don't need to know to who the email was sent, and on small or middle-sized wikis this may compromise the anonymity of the receiver if we sort it by gender.
