Add dropdown on Special:PageTranslationDeletePage
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

Please add a dropdown with deletion reasons similar to what happen on normal wiki page deletion. Wording can be different so a new MediaWiki message should be added. The free text field should also be kept for further explanation if required. Thank you.

Event Timeline

Hi there. Can this one please be considered? Thanks!

It currently has a low priority, so it is unlikely it will be picked up by the Language team.

You can attempt to get the priority increased by explaining how doing this would have a significant impact.

I do not see anything controversial about this request, so patches that implement this would likely get reviewed pretty easily.

Thanks. The point on having a dropdown is to mirror what happens with &action=delete in normal pages. Having to write a reason each time we delete a translatable page imposes an undue burden and repetitive uneeded work on us translation administrators, and given that we frequently do this kind of deletions, it's becoming rather tiresome. In any case, thanks for your consideration on this matter.
