I have just meet this bug today.

Note this is especially problematic for a template because “translation” page in source language is needed, and can’t be even manually created.

Change #151310 abandoned by Nikerabbit:

[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Move source translation page on changing page language

Reason:

Patch is almost 10 years old. Task is valid, but easier to start a new patch from scratch.
