Extension:Genderize

What for?
Let user page titles and links to user pages be gender-specific.

Why?
MediaWiki 1.18.0 introduced $wgExtraGenderNamespaces, but it does only 1/4 of the job. If you set up $wgExtraGenderNamespaces properly, tooltips of links to user pages are genderized, but link text, user page title and namespace tab are not. This extension let $wgExtraGenderNamespaces do its part of the job and does the rest.

Download
svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Genderize

Usage
Add to your LocalSettings.php:

If $egGender is not set, English `User' is used instead.

Effect
(Let us assume $egGenderize is set as in the example above.)

Links to a user page can be specified as Male:Name, Female:Name , or Unknown:Name , or as canonical User:Name. Regardless of the used prefix, link will be rendered with proper prefix.

User page title will be genderized, e. g. `Female:Name'. Namespace tab (in case of Vector skin it is above the left-upper corner of the page) will be `Female', not `User'.

Known issues
Some messages are not translated yet. For example, namespace's tab tooltip.
