Steps to replicate the issue

Create a user page on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia using neutral (default) or masculine gender. It will have the title "Korisnik:X" (as expected).
Go to Settings → Internationalization → Gender (direct link), and select feminine gender.
Now, go back to your user page.

What happens?
The URL is updated to the feminine gender (as expected), but the page title (first heading) is still "Korisnik:X".

What should have happened instead?
The page title (first heading) should be updated to "Korisnica:X".
The behavior should be similar to hrwiki (Croatian Wikipedia), where the page title is updated accordingly.

"MessagesSh_latn.php" has its gender aliases set (here), but the main file "MessagesSh.php" is missing those aliases. Perhaps that can be the cause?

Just checked, that's not the cause.

Perhaps setting $wgExtraGenderNamespaces might fix this.

Hi @Aca the namespace page titles seem to work properly for me. The user namespace did properly display as "Korisnica" when I changed the settings to the feminine gender as shown below or am I missing something?

@ToluAyo Thank you for your comment. As I wrote in the task description, you need to create a local userpage. After that, the bug is present.
