:{{ping|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 <code>translate</code> tags displaying on this interface message in Firefox but not Chromium-based web browsers. I even went to the trouble of receiving temporary <code>sysop</code> and <code>translation administrator</code> rights on [https://test.wikipedia.org/ 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 [[Special:Contributions/FuzzyBot|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. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:MacFan4000|MacFan4000]] ^{([[User talk:MacFan4000|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/MacFan4000|Contribs]])} 02:49, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
