Hello. Today I noticed that one year ago you have moved the page Multimedia/Media Viewer to Reading/Multimedia/Media Viewer. The same action hasn't happened for the translated subpages like Multimedia/Media Viewer/it or Multimedia/Media Viewer/es and all the others languages. Now they don't appear in the box at the top of the page Reading/Multimedia/Media Viewer and somebody could think that no translation exists and start a new one in his language. Furthermore, I think that the old subpages aren't linked any more to the primary page and can't follow its updates.

I'm worried that this situation could has happed to other pages: talking about Media Viewer, I noticed the same thing (in Meta-Wiki) with the page Community Engagement (Product)/Media Viewer consultation, moved to Community Liaisons/Media Viewer consultation.

Hmm, yes, it looks like Translate's special page move handler didn't kick in? That feels like a bug. Will investigate.

OK, so, thanks to a colleague we've identified a few things:

  • This is a known bug, T114592
  • It's very irritating.
  • There's no sane fix. I can't move the page back (because it's translatable), so clashes with the subpages; I can't move the subpages over (because I'd be moving them into the translatable world).

Sorry. :-(

OK, I've now re-made Reading/Multimedia/Media Viewer/it via the Translation tool (the "memory" feature already had the text fully). I'll do the same for de, ru, es, fr, ja and pt-br. Fun. :-(
