Description Mark A. Hershberger 2011-09-19 20:32:31 UTC
Found this while testing r97296.  Since I wrote the exact steps to reproduce this in IRC, here are the logs:

 <hexmode> installed and created default LocalSettings.php
 <hexmode> User:Test has no content  [15:59]
 <hexmode> Log in as Test
 <hexmode> create User:Test with content "blah"
 <hexmode> Change gender to male  [16:00]
 <hexmode> added $wgExtraGenderNamespaces line to LocalSettings.php  [16:01]
 <hexmode> Visit User:Test  [16:02]
 <hexmode> redirects to The_man:Test
 <hexmode> no content
 <hexmode> Remove line from LocalSettings.php  [16:03]
 <hexmode> Return to User:Test
 <hexmode> shows content "blah"

Note that the exact line I put in LocalSettings.php was:

 $wgExtraGenderNamespaces[NS_USER] = array( 'male' => 'The man', 'female' => 'The lady' );

Niklas told me this was a mis-communication and that I should have used 'The_man' and 'The_lady' instead.

How is this related to watchlist?
Comment 2 Niklas Laxström 2011-09-20 06:22:42 UTC
It isn't.
Comment 3 Pavel Selitskas [wizardist] 2012-12-10 12:56:09 UTC
Shouldn't this be resolved as WONTFIX (not a bug)? It's just a mistake in configuration after all.

Indeed, the underscore requirement is quite a widespread one in MediaWiki.
