Genderified namespaces
[edit]About this (in Module:Category handler/shared):
-- We don't use title.nsText for the namespace name because it adds
-- underscores.
While tweaking this code (by the way, see T369784), I just discovered another difference:
In frwiki, for the "User:" namespace, we have two different words: "Utilisateur:" for male (or unknown) users and "Utilisatrice:" for female users. Same goes for the "User talk:" namespace.
Now, assuming titleObj represents a user page of a female user:
mw.site.namespaces[titleObj.namespace].name
-- always gives: "Utilisateur" (gender is not applied)
titleObj.nsText
-- gives: "Utilisatrice" (gender is applied)
By the way, from a technical point of view, this namespace genderification is a pain in the ass. On a regular basis.
