Description

There was MediaWiki:Recentchanges-summary message added recently. However, there is already MediaWiki:Recentchangestext.

When MediaWiki:Recentchangestext uses certain CSS (negative margins e.g.) to position elements, MediaWiki:Recentchanges-summary breaks it.

The solution would be to empty the MediaWiki:Recentchanges-summary message, but neither "-" nor empty page works. The first case shows the "-" character on Special:RecentChanges, the second shows the default message. So it is currently impossible to get rid of that message at all.

For the time being before fixing, this should be removed from live WMF wikis, as it breaks many Special:RecentChanges pages.

Probably related to bug 25946.

...and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/6230/

I committed a fix that allows disabling summaries using '-' in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/8447/ . But please review :)

Krinkle mentioned this in T27946: recentchangestext should be shown in interface language (not content language).Jun 23 2017, 6:49 PM
