Wikipedias in them are about to be created, which is probably why they are configured in cxserver, but they haven't been created yet, so they shouldn't appear as source or target.

Event Timeline

@Amire80 This is expected behavior that configuration of cxserver is separate from creation of Wikipedias. Not a bug, IMHO.

Of course it's a bug. It's not actually possible to translate from them, so they must not appear in the list. It's not the most urgent thing or a deployment blocker, but should be addressed some time soon nevertheless.

Only solution right now is to add cxserver configuration only after Wikipedia is actually created Or T271809 is done.

That's okay.

Given the above comments I'm inclined to close it. A wiki that has not been officially created, or a wiki created with no articles yet are not going to be very different in terms of using them as a source: you have no articles to translate. So I don't think that it is worth making big efforts on this front.
