Suppress rendering translated versions of a page and render only the default
Open, LowPublic
Actions

Description

The idea of this feature is to suppress the translated version of the page in order languages in the category tree and show only the default page (upon creation). This option is not available by default but can be enabled using the notranslations option in the category tree.

Also, note that if notranslations option is added with the showcount option available, the number of suppressed pages should influence the value of the count. So for example, if we had a page with 20 translated pages (meaning 21 pages in the category), the output should be (TestCat‎ (1 P)), instead of (TestCat (21 P)).

Option name(?)

notranslations
suppresstranslations

Maybe other ideas of better names?

Use case(s)

Having a page with so many translated pages in a category tree will make the list so long and in addition, the main page already has links to the translated versions maybe at the top or at the bottom with <languages/> tag (?). So, it would be good to have an option to suppress the translations and have just the main/default pages in the category tree.

@daniel, I'll make a patch with the option notranslations for a start. Let me know if that is a good name or if there are better options. Thanks

Also, note that if notranslations option is added with the showcount option available, the suppressed pages shouldn't influence the value of the count.

Given that the counts are loaded from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Category_table, I don't see any efficient way to achieve this.

count is the only blocker for this change. I'll try to track this in a sub-task and work on it!
