[[MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-patent/pl]] translation issue
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

The said message documentation contains information about four parameters (the last being a user to be used with GENDER), however the English text only makes use of $1 - $3 so that TranslateWiki interface complains that $4 is not defined when I'm using it. Consequently, the translated message is permanently displayed as "out of date".

Proposed change in MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-patent:

from:

I, $2, would like to grant a permanent patent license to any users of {{PLURAL:$1|the file|the files}} and related 3D objects ([$3 legal code]).

to:

I, $2, {{GENDER:$4|would like}} to grant a permanent patent license to any users of {{PLURAL:$1|the file|the files}} and related 3D objects ([$3 legal code]).

This would not change the appearance of English text but will make it easier to translate it in some languages.

Addressing this request would require making a change in the following repositories/files:

Event Timeline

Since this refers to the current user, you don't actually have to use $4 at all; you can use the syntax {{GENDER:|male|female|other}} anywhere in MediaWiki code to make the output apply to the current user's gender. So maybe we could just remove parameter $4 altogether if it's not working as intended?
