Event Timeline
Good, I wanted to submit this bug as well, but I didn't do so yet because this probably needs configuration per wiki. For example, on incubatorwiki it needs:
$wgBabelCategoryNames = array(
'0' => 'Users:By language:%code%-0',
'1' => 'Users:By language:%code%-1',
'2' => 'Users:By language:%code%-2',
'3' => 'Users:By language:%code%-3',
'4' => 'Users:By language:%code%-4',
'5' => 'Users:By language:%code%-5',
'N' => 'Users:By language:%code%-N'
);
$wgBabelMainCategory = 'Users:By language:%code%';
Wikimedia's wgConf setup supports that. It can be set to a default to all, and overwrite per language, per project, and per indivual wiki.
I know. (btw, it can be set per project and wiki but not per language).
Anyway, the thing is that Babel automatically creates all categories, so the configuration would need to be set *before* it is enabled, otherwise a lot of duplicate categories would be created (i.e. default "User xx" categories on a wiki that uses a different category system).
lowering priority since it doesn't look like the response to the to bug #15308 isn't a high priority.
I reviewed Babel back in May but forgot to tell anyone I'd done it.
