[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T182800: Username beginning with asterisk renders as list in “restore”/“undo” edit summaries of Wikibase items

[Bawolff]

Bawolff added a comment.

I don’t think we can do that – {{GENDER}} needs the unescaped username. Otherwise we’ll address these users with the wrong gender. (I tried it out locally, {{GENDER:*asterisk|he|she|they}} produces “she” while {{GENDER:*asterisk|he|she|they}} produces “they”.)

And weirdly enough, {{GENDER:User:*asterisk|he|she|they}} produces she.
