I just expanded the Setup section of FlaggedRevs, an extension that gave me lots of problems that could have been prevented with proper instructions.
I was taken aback by these <translate> tags. I did the best I could, but I have no idea if I broke something or did something wrong. Is this really the best way to make MediaWiki multilingual?
You are not the only one, though most people appreciate the value of supporting translations even though the method has shortcomings. We are exploring how to make the process better: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Translatable_Pages_Research
Thanks. User:Shirayuki has altered my edit and made it compatible with the translation system... I think.
I honestly have no idea how this convoluted system works. I can't make heads or tails of it. For example, what are these <!--T:[number]--> markers?
They are explained for example in Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example.
