Translation

I removed this from translation, because the translate system doesn't work for interface pages, interface pages already have there own translation system (the same language subpages), and when you see the message in use you see the raw translate tags.

@MacFan4000: Oh, that's interesting. Do you know where it says that, though? In fact, I was trying to resolve an errant bug with the translate tags displaying on this interface message in Firefox but not Chromium-based web browsers. I even went to the trouble of receiving temporary sysop and translation administrator rights on Test Wikipedia to try and resolve the bug. For clarity, those tags did not show up on Test Wikipedia in the tests I performed. Separately, though, my understanding is removing pages from the translation system is discouraged, presumably, because FuzzyBot does not remove the translation pages and subpages. So, my preference would've been to have deleted the translation subpages and let FuzzyBot do its work. Dmehus (talk) 01:43, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

The same subpages are used for interface message translation. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation#Message_sources for info. MacFan4000 ^{(Talk Contribs)} 02:49, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
