Categories and zero ability in a language

Summary by Pigsonthewing

Fix deployed.

On my user page on the Swedish Wikipedia, for example, I have the Babel template as:

{{#babel:en|sv-0}}

Despite the zero rating for Swedish, that adds me to sv:Kategori:Användare sv ("Users of Swedish"). The same thing happens on the Portuguese Wikipedia, where:

{{#babel:en|pt-0}}

adds me to pt:Categoria:Usuários pt, and so on.

Is this something that can be fixed centrally?

Not possible currently. Would you mind filing a feature request in phabricator.wikimedia.org?

I see from Phabricator that a patch was supplied on 29 September. What's the likely timescale for getting it deployed?

Nikerabbit (talkcontribs)

The patch has not yet been merged. After that happens, the bug should receive a tag indicating the expected date when it is deployed.

Thank you. I understand the sequence, my question was about timescale.

Nikerabbit (talkcontribs)

Code review is not a deterministic process, so it is impossible to say for certain. Babel is quite well maintained, however, so within one or two weeks it should be deployed.

KartikMistry (talkcontribs)

This should be available now (Deployed last week already).

Pigsonthewing (talkcontribs)

Yes; that's fixed the issue on both of the Wikipedias I gave as examples. Thanks to all who helped.
