Call to undefined function wfMsgForContentNoTrans()
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: rjohnson

Description:
After installing the Cite.php extension (Revision 1.19) with Mediawiki (version
1.5.7), I reliably get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfMsgForContentNoTrans() in
/var/www/mediawiki/extensions/Cite.php on line 575

On further reading, I see this is a known bug, but there is no bug report. The
discussion I found was:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Cite/Cite.php&oldid=310339#Problem_installing

I'm not asking for the bug to be fixed, as I understand it's apparently not
intended to work yet anyway, I just wanted to get a bug report entered, as I
spent a fair amount of time tracking it down, and found no bug report here. I'm
not terribly familiar with bugzilla, so I'm not sure if I can "close" this bug
immediately after opening it, but if I can, I will. If not, my apologies to
whoever does close it.

Changing status to "INVALID". I believe the bug is valid, but I only want it
shown so others can see it, but not have developers waste time on a known bug.

After further checking, it appears that Cite.php is designed for Mediawiki
version 1.6 or higher, as it works on en.wikipedia.org, which is running
Mediawiki 1.6alpha. I look forward to the 1.6 release version.
