page -> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap/fr displays :

Cette extension est incluse dans les paquets et / ou les fermes de wikis suivants : 
Certaine fermes de wikis ou d'hébergeurs peuvent contenir ce extension même s'ils ne figurent pas ici. Vérifiez toujours cela dans votre environement avant de confirmer.


Request : implement coherence of the text

'Cette extension est incluse' 

is ok because 'cette extension' is of gender female. but

'ou d'hébergeurs peuvent contenir ce extension' 

is wrong because it is assigned suddenly to a masculine and must follow the same logic being 'ou d'hébergeurs peuvent contenir cette extension'

If we suppose parameter is 'extension' (feminine) we expect :

'Cette extension est incluse' ....
'ou d'hébergeurs peuvent contenir cette extension' 

If we suppose parameter is 'skin' (masculine) we expect :

'Cet habillage est inclus' ....
'ou d'hébergeurs peuvent contenir cet habillage' 

That means we must be able to switch translation of 'this' according to gender of NAMESPACE leading to 'cette' or 'cet' in the template code:

T:6  This is not an authoritative list. Some wiki farms/hosts may contain this <tvar name="1">{{lc: 
    {{NAMESPACE}} }}</tvar> even if they are not listed here. A...

Can someone implement the switch in the template ? Thanks.

I'll be honest, I don't even know how to make this change. But I find "ce extension" very funny because anyone who knows French would know that even if "extension" were masculine it should be "cet extension", so it's pretty obvious this should be changed.
