When viewing source for pages in the MediaWiki namespace on wikis where I am not a syop, I am told: "You do not have permission to edit pages, for the following reason: This page provides interface text for the software, and is locked to prevent abuse." But I can edit pages in other namespaces, so it should only say that I am not allowed to edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace.
Yes If "You do not have permission" seem to say, you are "not allowed to edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace". So, what is the problem ?
Perhaps "You do not have permission to edit pages" should be changed to "You do not have permission to edit this page"
Yes. I didn't feel like a whole bunch of new interface messages for actions as well as rights.
Some background. This originates from the following code: /var/www/w/includes/OutputPage.php: $text = wfMsgNoTrans( 'permissionserrorstext-withaction', count($errors), $action_desc ) . "\n\n"; Message: 'permissionserrorstext-withaction' => 'You do not have permission to $2, for the following {{PLURAL:$1|reason|reasons}}:', $action_desc = wfMsg( "right-$action" ); Quite bad from an i18n perspective... Ideally the messages Andrew didn't want to add, need to be added, unless a for is found that can use right-* in all languages.
Fixed in r41737.
