Some instances of parentheses in Special:Contributions and others should be replaced with the localised version (when it exists). The unlocalised ones sometimes don't produce the typographically ideal sequence of characters. For example, '(差異 | 歷史)' '(diff | hist)' in Special:Contributions on mediawikiwiki does not use the localised parentheses when I specify Chinese [1][2]. Other examples: * the day name such as (星期五), and the links after username (對話 | 貢獻) in RecentChanges [3] * '(歷史)' in ShortPages [4] [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Whym?uselang=zh-hant [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Parentheses/zh-hant [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=Added+PHP+closing+tag&uselang=zh-hant [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ShortPages&uselang=zh-hant

These lists should use pipe-separator and parentheses messages.
Fixed for Special:Contributions in r112410 and r112412. If you feel like it, please give creating a patch to fix this in the other pages you mentioned a go.
With r112433 many more issues have been resolved. Please provide specific cases of this in core when reopening the bug. I've also fixed an issue in Translate (Special:Translations), and found issues in SemanticMediaWiki that I haven't resolved.
Created attachment 10122 [details] supplemental changes to replace parentheses literals with localised parentheses in Special:Contributions and Special:RecentChanges I noticed link items like '(talk|contribs)' in RecentChanges were still not i18nised. Please review and apply the patch to i18nise those parentheses used in the RecentChanges and history pages.
(In reply to comment #5) > Created attachment 10122 [details] Very nice. Thank you! I've committed this, with very minor whitespace updates in r112589. I'll grep for the patters and will see if there's more low hanging fruit...
Made another commit for this: r112591. Kind of done with this now ;).
