2 years & 3 years fix edit

Requesting "2 years:2 years,3 years:3 years," to be added at the end, right before the "indefinite:indefinite". The reason for this is to prevent weird entries like this from appearing in block logs. What this change would do is that it'd use the actual text "2 years" as an alias for the somewhat inconsistent timespan of 2 years according to MediaWiki; if it appears in ipboptions, it uses that text as an alias (even if it's typed out), similar to how "31 hours" is used now (if it wasn't there, it would appear as "1 day and 7 hours").

Done - I don't see a problem with this and it will fix a problem that has irritated me as well. Thanks for the suggestion. --Bongwarrior (talk) 01:00, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you, Bongwarrior. I expected this to take at least a week, that is if it was accepted. Was this tested anywhere? If not, could someone test it on User:ThisIsaTest? I tested it on a local installation of MediaWiki 1.21 (en.wiki uses 1.22). Also, while you're here, I'd like to point out that I find it humorous in an absurdly bizarre way that there's an administrator called Bongwarrior. Ginsuloft (talk) 01:24, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
