Hallo! http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/Transclusion contains two sections with explanations and links of *odd* behaviour: a) section: editing nonexisting MediaWiki message without using uselang When the selected user interface is Russian http://nike.users.idler.fi/dev/index.php?title=MediaWiki:April&action=edit will preload the Russian message "апреля" in this Finnisch wiki. (At least I would expect that [[MediaWiki:Foo]] should contain Finnish text.) b) section: the existance of MediaWiki:Foo in the content language blocks the transclusion of MediaWiki:Foo/bar while using uselang=bar The summary of this bug suggests / request the preloading of the message from the right MessageXx.php to messages in the same language. This preload should not be depend on the existence of the correesponding "sister language" messages in the content language / the fallback language etc. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
When a user edits a MediaWiki namespace page that doesn't exist, if the message is defined, then the text is preloaded taking the content language, as far as I understand the intention. It makes no sense to alter this based on a 'uselang' attribute, if I read the first part of the request right. The second part, preloading *specific* language variants, might be useful.
I think it was fixed in r15987 and r16007.
