Description Gustronico 2013-05-02 02:34:03 UTC 
A special argument #pageuser is needed for GENDER to detect the owner of the page when it is included in User and User Talk spaces, also usable in interface messages. It should work as follows:

{{gender:#pageuser|male form|female form}}

Related to the attempt of getting the username of a user page 'owner' from the
full page name, see bug 32703:

1. {{BASEPAGENAME}} fails to return the username "Example" when viewing a 2nd
level or deeper subpage, like "User:Example/Archive/2010".

2. {{#titleparts:}} is an extension parser function, and it should not be used
to resolve system messages.

Maybe the new variable ROOTPAGENAME can be used here (bug 6747).

Of course. I didn't notice about it.
Just before closing as resolved: Will ROOTPAGENAME work in NS tabs system massages like [[MediaWiki:Nstab-user]]? see bug 45938.
