Translations:Help:System message/824/en

However, many other languages need different words depending on the user's gender, not only for third-person pronouns, but also for other pronouns, as well as for verbs in different tenses (e.g. "created", "deleted"), nouns (e.g. "mentor", "administrator"), adjectives (e.g. "new"), etc. It is therefore often useful to use GENDER in English messages, even when there's only English word. This gives translators a hint that GENDER can be used in a message. It also avoids warnings on translatewiki about missing parameters when an optional username parameter is missing (this happens especially often in log entry messages).
