Remove unused messages from the Collection extension
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Nine Collection extension messages are documented as "Unused at this time" in qqq. To see a list conveniently, do any of these things:

If they are indeed unused, they must be removed.

I didn't have time to verify each of them, but I did check coll-noscript_text and it was removed back in 2008.

To remove them:

  • Verify that they are unused: check that the key is not used anywhere except the i18n/*.json files.
  • Bonus (not necessary if you're certain that they are not used): Find when was the message removed, for example using git bisect.
  • Remove them from i18n/en.json and i18n/qqq.json. (No need to remove from other json files. This will be done automatically.)

For (just a bit) more information about removing messages, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation#Removing_existing_messages .
