Help:CirrusSearch
In some way I don't understand, your edit of 21:03, 27 September 2015 seems to have broken the link to the Help talk:CirrusSearch page (under the Frequently asked questions header). Could you take a look at it please? Colonies Chris (talk) 14:04, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't understand edits such as . What software do you use, that breaks newlines and everything? Nemo 18:07, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Also, removing all translation unit markers is not acceptable, hence I restored the preceding version. Your work on the help page is appreciated but please conduct it on a separate sandbox without disrupting the main help page, and merge your text back into the correct places once ready.

 * Thank you for stating your appreciation towards me personally. I've answered on the relevant talk page. Cpiral (talk) 00:37, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, I can help preparing your version for translation. For this I need:
 * your version to live on a separate, editable draft page;
 * you to perform some basic cleanup, for instance of the weird newlines;
 * you, someone or (as very last resort and probably not in the next couple months) me to restore the translation unit markers for the paragraphs which survived from the older version;
 * ideally, for the remaining paragraphs, some way to compare the text of the old and new ones (diff is impossible unless paragraphs are in the same order).
 * Nemo 23:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * An external diff utility could diff paragraphs as files.
 * I think I now understand the "Why?"s about this: a very high value must be placed on already-translated units, therefore, although it may have been a real dilemma at first, now MediaWiki must choose i18n over re-publishing major content-revisions. Thanks.
 * As of now your original route seems best. So I'll cleanup the translated version (best I can). Then I'm going to move untranslated CirrusSearch content to the Wikipedia draft of CirrusSearch. Lastly, maybe we'll work on translating the reverted content, now at User:Cpiral/CirrusSearch. Cpiral (talk) 07:30, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
