Using the gender of the subject user, not the viewer

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Gender/LiquidThreads
- GENDER has two usage variants: One referring to the current user viewing the page (used only for interface messages, see e.g. Tog-watchrollback (“
Add pages where I have performed a rollback to my watchlist
”)), written as{{GENDER:|m|f|n}}
(without the username). An the other one where the user, whose gender should discriminate, is specified explicitly (e.g. Savedrights (“The user groups of {{GENDER:$1|$1}} have been saved.
”)), written as{{GENDER:username|m|f|n}}
. Obviously, the username is usually passed as a parameter to the respective message, e.g.{{GENDER:$1|m|f|n}}
. - Of course it can,
USERNAME {{GENDER:USERNAME|przeniósł|przeniosła}}
(more specifically, usually something like$1 {{GENDER:$1|przeniósł|przeniosła}}
, if the $1 variable contains the username). - If you want to learn which message causes something to be displayed, append
?uselang=qqx
to the page URL, see the FAQ. In this case, viewing Special:Contributions/Sumanah?uselang=qqx shows the heading of the page is defined by Contributions (“User contributions
”).
The problem at (3) is that the message (both in Polish and English) uses the parameter $1, but it’s not passed to the message. This is a software bug, either the parameter should be passed, or—if that’s impossible for some reason—at least the parameter should be removed from the English message.
