The property/tag would need to be added (automatically) going forward.
Also, a maintenance script to retrospectively (rather than waiting for translation updates to potentially propagate it) add the property/tag would be very very useful...

@Nikerabbit Any hints where this could/should be added?
And preference whether we use MW core's page_props or Translate's revtag?
Comment Actions
My preference would be page_props unless DBAs start screaming at me and suggesting a better solution. Just needs a small addition to PageTranslation\Hooks::renderTagPage near the end of the function. Something like
if ( !TranslatablePage::isSourcePage( $title ) ) { $wikitextParser->getOutput()->setPageProperty( 'translation-page' ); }
Comment Actions
I would presume, unless we started adding the tag to every page (with a true or false), that this shouldn’t be an issue. And as such, using the existence of the row for the page being enough…

For a magnitude, Metawiki has 10k translatable pages. If we assume each translatable page has 100 translation pages (which would be awesome), we are still talking about a million extra rows. Other wikis are smaller.

Change 961970 had a related patch set uploaded (by Reedy; author: Reedy):
[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Add page property for translation pages
Comment Actions
One condition that we may have to consider is what happens when a page marked from translation is removed from translation. Should its translations not be considered translations anymore? If so, should we remove these properties from the page?
Comment Actions
The property will be removed automatically by next re-parse of the page. There is no need to explicitly remove page props, nor any easy way for us to retain them.
Comment Actions
As far as I know we call Title::invalidateCache for all translation pages. I'm not sure if that is enough, though.

[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Add page property for translation pages
Comment Actions
Running refresh-translatable-pages.php should populate the translate-is-translation property in page_props table.

Tracking this work in the parent task. See: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T299308#9333468
Marking this as done.
