Hi @LaMagiaaa, thanks for taking the time to report this! Unfortunately this Wikimedia Phabricator task lacks some information.
If you have time and can still reproduce the situation: Please add a more complete description to this task. That should be

  • a clear and complete list of exact steps to reproduce the situation, step by step, so that nobody needs to guess or interpret how you performed each step,
  • what happens after performing these steps to reproduce,
  • what you expected to happen instead,
  • a full link to a web address where the issue can be seen.

You can edit the task description by clicking Edit Task. Ideally, a good description should allow any other person to follow these steps (without having to interpret steps) and see the same results. Problems that others can reproduce can get fixed faster. Thanks again!

@Aklapper
You can check it on my userpage and other global userpages by the following link
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LaMagiaaa?uselang=zh

This will also appear in some other versions, for example kk or ban

Ah, thanks a lot, I understand now. So this is about user profile pages. And this seems to be about one specific message, for global user pages.

I don't see anything specific on https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Globaluserpage-footer/zh-hans and https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Globaluserpage-footer/en (and taking a quick look at the code it's unclear to me where GlobalUserPageFooterKey comes from).
