Translations of the help page should not appear in the wiki configuration list
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

We use a generic PrefixIndex on the wiki config index, which results in a list of both the legitimate subpages with per-wiki configuration, but also the language subpages containing a translation of the index help page, for example Extension:FileImporter/Data/fr.

I don't see any way to fix the transcluded list, so we need to move either the configuration root or the help page. Moving the help page is probably easier. I propose having Extension:FileImporter/Data redirect to Extension:FileImporter/List of configured wikis. Move permissions require "translation administrator" on mediawiki.org.

I would love to propose a 3rd way:

Excellent! Let's do that one.

Uh, I just realized, is it even possible to transclude a page with localizations so that the localizations still work? Maybe it's better to stick to suggestion number 2 then.

Good catch! T47096: Add a way to transclude template or other page in the correct language: open, "high priority". There's a new WIP patch...

Lena_WMDE set the point value for this task to 2.

I've asked for the "Translation Administrator" group membership on mediawiki.org.

The page and its translations has been moved, so the configuration subpage list is cleaned of all translation subpages.

To demo: visit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileImporter/Data

Follow-up is to point to the redirect target from configuration.
