           Summary: Special:AllMessages not showing the latest version
                    available
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Special pages
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: huji.h...@gmail.com


I couldn't find a better place to put this bug, so move it if needed.

Go to Persian Wikipedia, on this page:
http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version?uselang=en

You see that it is using r55629.

Now check this page:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/AbuseFilter/AbuseFilter.i18n.php?revision=55611&view=markup

It is the AbuseFilter internationalization file; it's version is 55611, so
Persian Wikipedia should be using this file (it is the latest version of
AbuseFilter.i18n.php before r55629). Find the part starting with    
"$messages['fa'] = array("       without quotes. You see, there ARE some
Persian translations. So Persian Wikipedia should be able to show some Persian
messages for AbuseFilter.

Now go to this page: http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages

Find the message "abusefilter" (sixth from the top). You can see that there is
a custom translation in use. But here is the bug: the default value is shown as
"Abuse filter configuration". However, we expected the default value to be in
Persian (coming from AbuseFilter.i18n.php as mentioned above).

In brief: Special:AllMessages seems not be able to show the correct default
value. This happens selectively; messages pertaining AbuseFilter extension
suffer from this, but messages for Antispoof extension show the correct
(Persian) default value (for example, find "antispoof-unassigned" on
http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages and see that the default and
the custom value are both in Persian).
