I blanked the translations to match the source: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Matma+Rex&namespace=all&tagfilter=&start=2025-10-27&end=2025-10-27&limit=500 so they should stop showing up as outdated in the translation interface now.

I'll send a patch to mark the message as untranslateable, so it will stop showing up for translation to new languages too.

Oh, @Amire80 has already done that: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/translatewiki/+/1198635. Maybe my edits were unnecessary.

We may need to export the translations one more time to clear them from the JSON files, though: https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=centralauth-readmore-text&files=&excludeFiles=&repos=Extension%3ACentralAuth

@Raymond Can that be done, or should I just make a patch in Gerrit to remove them?

I think that when a message is marked as ignored, translations are supposed to be deleted from the JSON files automatically, but @Raymond should confirm.

In any case, blanking translations in translate is probably not the right thing.

@matmarex Blanking is not necessary, indeed. With the export today the translations were removed from the json files because the message key was set to ignored, as @Amire80 said: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth/+/1199360
