Hi,

I noticed that we haven't updated the plural rules in MediaWiki core. When I looked at the file, I also noticed that the syntax of the rules became significantly different.

Here's the file:

Is there any plan to update it in the core?

There is a change in the syntax of these rules, especially for fractional support.

We have a javascript parser for these rules[1] and a php parser[2].

Both need to be updated as per new syntax[3]
