Invalidating translations

@Trizek (WMF): The list of projects is in a translation variable so that the translations are automatically updated whenever it changes. If you invalidate the translations each time, you give translators unnecessary extra work and mostly defeat the whole purpose of the translation variable. Please either pay attention not to invalidate them, or let experienced volunteer translation administrators do the translation admin tasks.

This is strange. I remember clicking on "invalidate translations" the last time I changed the page. If I forgot, I'm sorry for the disturbance: it was not intentional at all.

You mean clicking on (checking the checkbox of) don’t invalidate translations, don’t you? Invalidating them is the default, which seems to be a sensible default in general, but not really on this particular page…

I don't think I invalidated the translations. :)

Anyway, Shirayuki changed the template so that no further incident will happen.
