[Gendergap] Fwd: Gender preference

[paolo massa]

I posted on my blog the table. See
http://www.gnuband.org/2011/02/10/percentage_of_men_and_women_on_different_wikipedias/

Amir left a comment saying that the User: namespace in Russian is
translated into the equivalent of User_male: (I guess if the user set
male in the preferences as gender) and User_female: (if female in the
preferences).

Do you know if this happens in other wikipedia as well?
In Russian Wikipedia, if gender is not set, how User: is rendered?
With the male equivalent or there is a neutral form?
