- Fix fatal on Special:ImportTranslations during import (Gerrit change 704546)
- Fix "Moving a translatable page makes all translation units no longer outdated" (task T275327)
- Fix "A translatable page should not be considered as broken when last change in history is a log entry" (task T241980)
- Fix "Translation units to be deleted appear with unit ID -1 on Special:PageTranslation" (task T283971)
- Show correct number of units marked for translation on SpecialPageTranslation (Gerrit change 705885)
