Hoi Rob, What you read suggests to me that I should understand what you write. I however do not.. What is a lint ?? Thanks, Gerard

In one of mine, too.

A possible reason it's not immediately obvious with a "brief test" is because a "brief test" probably consists of accessing the extension page or whatever with uselang=XX applied. However, if someone overwrites the English messages, which act as a fallback, then uselang=XX will fall back to the "English", which of course, will contain whatever they just added, and it'll all appear to work.

I suggest that people extend their testing to *at the very minimum*:

• Do a lint (php -l blah.i18n.php)
• Check the thing still works as expected in English and ideally

another of the pre-existing languages

• Check the newly-added language works properly

Cheers,

Rob Church
