Description

Alias translation fatal error if first special page alias translation is the same as an element in the fallback chain: Exception: Something missing from values: Array

This happens only if the aliases have been translated manually rather than using the special page as one should, but after such an edit the translators are very confused.

See recent example (I think) in URL; old example was http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:Sp-translate-data-SpecialPageAliases/id&diff=1662616&oldid=1662279&curid=894890

Example fix: 0c0458d35ab594a096a93a7ef94a74a18fefa12d

@Aklapper: yes it is still happening. No idea why I was not subscribed to this bug.

There is any progress? [[Special:AdvancedTranslate]] is needed, from time to time...

For context: Special:AdvancedTranslate has been disabled for a while, because it prevents translating two magic words to same string. This is there to avoid breakage when that happens, but then lately there are legitimate reasons to have those, breaking all languages.

No progress. Maybe by Wikimania hackathon? For the time being, as a workaround, we try to process requests for changes or review patches promptly.
