Description Niklas Laxström 2011-10-19 09:34:56 UTC 
Split off from https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30442#c15

Basically we can with some simple changsd clarify what the option is for.

If we're speaking of [[Special:Preferences]]:

Untagging this as a 1.19 release blocker. No work has gone into this enhancement,
and it cannot go in anymore.

Looks good!
Small ideas: "What sounds correct?" might be enough for 'yourgender', otherwise it's a bit too much the left column of Special:Preferences; 'gender-unknown' might be "I prefer not to answer" (the previous question).
Of course "He/She edits wiki pages" is not a very realistic example, but there's not much to do about it in a language like English; for the others, docs are good and can always be improved.
Comment 5 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-12-09 22:43:09 UTC 
Assigning to Amir since he owns Gerrit change #30756
Comment 6 Niklas Laxström 2013-06-16 21:07:51 UTC 
Amir: It's been over 6 months now. If you are not planning to work on this, can you de-assign yourself?
Comment 7 Andre Klapper 2013-07-03 12:22:27 UTC 
Amir: Do you still plan to work on this?
