Line 6:
I noticed you prepared [[Mass Delete 2]] for translation. While technically speaking, you did everything correctly, using [[Special:PagePreparation]] and such, on TestWiki, that page is actually part of a series of [[:Category:Special test pages|special test pages]] earmarked for testing the <code>[[Special:Nuke|nuke]]</code> user right. So, in that case, that page probably ''shouldn't'' be prepared for translation. If you would like to test by preparing a page, what you ''can'' do is start a new test page in English, then prepare ''it'' for translation. This can be in '''Main:''' namespace or as a subpage of your userspace; it's up to you. When you are ready to start translating, you can discuss with me which of our [[:Category:Non-test pages|non-test pages]] you'd like to see translated, then I can see if there's a use case, and have you prepare and translate the page.
This is actually a good learning opportunity, though, in terms of [[Mass Delete 2]]. As the [[mw:Extension:Translate|Translate extension]] MediaWiki help page advises, prepared pages shouldn't be removed from the translation system ''until'' all the translated subpages, including the <code>'''/en'''</code> subpage have been deleted. So to correct this, what you will need to do is go to [[Mass Delete 2/en]] (and any other translation subpages you've created) and use the <code>delete</code> function to delete those pages, with the deletion reason "test done." Once the pages have been deleted, then you can remove the page from the translation system.
Happy testing,
