I see some messages with paramvalidator in their keys in languages/i18n/en.json, and I also see some in includes/libs/ParamValidator/i18n/en.json.
Is there a good reason to have them in those two places, or can they perhaps all be in includes/libs/ParamValidator/i18n/en.json?
My hunch is that they all belong in one place, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Or maybe they should move from languages/i18n/en.json to includes/api/i18n/en.json. People who know ParamValidator well should decide.

Change #1016845 had a related patch set uploaded (by Amire80; author: Amire80):
[mediawiki/core@master] Consolidate ParamValidator messages in one file
removing tag as this is not in Q1 priorities (July 2025- Sep 2025), might need to revisit later
Generally with includes/libs the assumption is that each directory will eventually be spun out into a standalone library (at which point it needs separate i18n files).
In this particular case, T382170: Create separate ParamValidator library. The i18n hasn't yet been moved to the library repo (which also isn't yet published and used).
