It was created at TranslateWiki, "Translation updater" copied it, it was deleted at TranslateWiki, then FuzzyBot copied the bad translation back to TranslateWiki.

It looks like because they have the MediaWiki: prefix, they are protected from translation, also it doesn't allow editing the English versions of messages.

Event Timeline

Hi @Peter_James, thanks for taking the time to report this! This task seems to be about two different things - please only report on thing per task.

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikibasemediainfo-time-precision-year1k/en should be fixed via a patch in Gerrit because it is en_US (the base language). You are very welcome to use developer access to submit the proposed code changes as a Git branch directly into Gerrit which makes it easier to review and provide feedback. If you don't want to set up Git/Gerrit, you can also use the Gerrit Patch Uploader.

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikibasemediainfo-special-mediasearch-continue/en-gb should be deleted on translatewiki.net and is out of scope here. This could be brought up on the talk page or on https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support

I want to claim this task.
Aside: this is my first experience with Wikimedia ever. Please be patient, if possible.

@Perryyrrep: Hi! This task has been assigned to you a while ago. Do you have any updates, or do you need any help?

@Perryyrrep: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!
