Inability to save due to 100% translated text

This message is very frustration when I try to save the text as a '''draft'''. The thing is - the translation tool is excellent for the automatic translation, including the inner-links and categories etc. but is not the most useful tool when comes to editing the test. I want to save the '''outcome as a draft''', but then I get the message that I cannot - because it has not been edited. Could someone make the exception that for a draft this warning will not exist?

Hello 81.5.40.120

In a case where the automatic translation in the Wikipedia you are translating to has improved, making the current machine translation limit very strict. You can discuss adjusting the limit with the Wikipedia community in the village pump.

In deciding how strict the automatic translation should be, your community should consider different samples of the automatic translation as case studies and agree on a suitable threshold based on its accuracy and the extent to which translators edit the machine translation.

Once there is a consensus on the percentage of adjustment (e.g. 99% automatic translation and 1% adjustment), you can create a phabricator ticket like this one so that the WMF Language team can adjust the machine translation limit.

I hope this information helps. Thank you!
