Description

MediaWiki:Movepage-summary loads if uselang is set to en, but not if set to other languages.

In general if a summary subpage (example: /es, /fr, etc.) does not exist the english text (or the autotranslate template if used) should be rendered.

Example:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/Category:Test (MediaWiki:Movepage-summary laods)
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/Category:Test?uselang=es (Non existing MediaWiki:Movepage-summary/es is getting loaded instead of MediaWiki:Movepage-summary)

Summary messages of special pages are always shown in content language.

If Wikimedia Commons want the user language shown, the $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg setting for wikimedia commons must be set. Than this task is a Site Request.

After short test with Steinsplitter, the patch unfortunately still doesn't work.

It seems I misread your first post, wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg is for the opposite use: When a usally content message is part of the array, it would always shown as user message.
There seems no way to load a message always as content language (or says fallback to the mediawiki page as content language - see T57473 or T3495).

Framawiki moved this task from Backlog to Analysis / under discussion on the Wikimedia-Site-requests board.

I am resetting the assignee of this reopened task as there has not been further work on this (please correct me if I am wrong!). Thanks for your understanding.
