Description Umherirrender 2010-06-27 15:09:09 UTC
The message revision-info-current is in wrong language at the user interface, when the message is created locale.

Steps to reproduce:
* Create revision-info-current with a text unequal to '-'
* Show the top version of a page
* change the language of that page (uselang=)
* At the begin of the page, you will see a message in content language
Comment 1 Huji 2010-06-29 11:50:53 UTC
This only happens if you set the value to '-', which is the default value.

Umherirrender, I had trouble understanding your reproduction instructions, sorry. Can you still reproduce this bug?

Comment 1 says the opposite of comment 0 and is wrong; example, just following the instructions: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Revision-info-current&oldid=505560579&uselang=it>
This, however, is just the standard message flow, unless I'm missing something: if you want a customised message to work in all languages, you have to create it in all languages, otherwise the local message will be used because MediaWiki assumes you have a good reason to overwrite it. You may call this bug 1495 maybe, I don't understand the topic well enough to say.
The problem is that perhaps en.wiki does *not* have a good reason to add that horrible red warning?
