Hi, @Reedy and @Aklapper. I see this ticket hasn't changed for a whole year. What's the status of this ticket? Is there anything pending for the request to be done?
Thanks in advance.

@YoaR: Hi, it's as you described it: The status is that this ticket is open and nobody is working on it. Someone needs to volunteer and work on it (same for most open tickets). If you are interested in making this change, probably best to check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker - thanks,

Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3
