[[wikitech:Special:UserLogin/signup]] contains the following text: ---- <loginstart> By creating an account in this project and/or using other wmflabs.org Services, you agree to comply with the Terms of Use for wmflabs.org. [...] If that's not the case, ask someone to verify from a labs instance whether the shell username is taken, by issuing the command groups $username on a shell. <loginend> ---- The <loginstart> and <loginend> placeholders should not be visible.
This is a problem directly solvable on the wiki. The system messages concerned is signupstart. And indeed [[wikitech:MediaWiki:Signupstart]] start with {{int:loginstart}}. When through ULS I switched from qqx back to en, I got a regular English message. So yes, it's well an issue with the local message.
Could you contact a sysop from this list about this issue? https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=sysop&editsOnly=1&limit=50

(Not being a sysop, just curious: Does this mean that "{{int:loginstart}}" should be removed from [[wikitech:MediaWiki:Signupstart]], or that [[wikitech:MediaWiki:Loginstart]] needs to be created?)
I'm happy to fix this, but I'm with Tim -- not yet clear on what the proper solution is.
IMHO, you can drop it. Signupstart is intended to be an extra message. If defined, it adds the following block to the code, before the #userloginForm element: <div id="signupstart">Content of Signupstart message</div> The same applies for Signupend, it's added in the userloginForm, after the form and before the closing div. <div id="signupend">Content of Signupend message</div> Reference: mediawiki/core, includes/templates/Usercreate.php [On a side note, feel free to open another bug to give them better names: the first is an extra introductio before the form, the second is an extra place inside the form).
