2016 update

In February 2016, KDE wikis have been upgraded to MediaWiki 1.26.2 and MLEB 2016.01.

Many issues have been fixed since 2012: mediawikiwiki:MediaWiki_Language_Extension_Bundle#Previous_releases

One of the new features is Special:PagePreparation + Special:PageMigration, which helps convert old non-Translate pages to Translate-powered translatable pages:mediawikiwiki:Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_administration#Migrating_to_page_translation

Bugs or Missing Features

Issues 1-5 already on Nikerabbit's roadmap

If a translation page is created in error, even though there is no content, it cannot be removed from the language bar.

Feature Requests

The ability to import existing .pot files, to a desired destination (e.g. app-name/Manual)
Ability to export .pot files as translation templates

Removing a page from the Translate system

[11:05] <annew> Nikerabbit: if I remove all <translate></translate> tags from a page, will it cause any problems? I want to remove that page from the translations system altogether

[11:06] <Nikerabbit> nope, first you remove the tags, then you go to Special:PageTranslation to unmark the page, and then you go and delete all the related pages manually

-# Once a page has been marked for translation there seems to be no way to remove it from the Translate list.
-# Removing all <nowiki><translate></nowiki> tags does not take the page from the list of translatable pages, nor does it destroy any link with the Translate tool.  See [[User:Annew/Build2]] for an example
-# Removing all text from a page does not break the link with the Translate tool.  See [[User:Annew/Build]] for an example
-# Pages which have been marked for translation, even if undergoing any of the surgery mentioned above, cannot be deleted.
