On april 3 An_introduction_to_KDE was updated and fuzzybot stepped into action. However, instead of marking the affected section as fuzzy, it reverted the Danish translation to an ancient version (dating from before the translation system) and didn't mark the page as fuzzy - I only discovered the problem by accident. Fortunately all the links on the page were made invalid and lit up in bright red. The German page showes a similar problem; I haven't looked at the other translations, but it seems likely that they are also affected.
I hope this is an isolated insident, but we need to be on our guard until we know what going on.
In that case, I'm to blame - at least in part. Yecril97pl made changes to that page, then complained that links were broken because they were across sections (I can't remember the exact details). Since a bullet list doesn't need additional space, I removed the additional lines, but marked it as not affecting translations. The idea was that translators could pick it up when doing something more significant, but it would only be making work to do it separately. Sorry it caused a problem - I don't really understand what's happening with regard to the old translations. Perhaps if Nikerabbit can explain that, I can avoid it in future.
If I understand this correctly, unit T8 is an old translation unit that has been removed long ago, so its contents is outdated. If so, we need to remove that unit-nr and reinstate the units from before Yecril97pl's changes, otherwise the recent translations with the proper links will be lost from translations. If Yecril97pl for some reason added unit-nr T8, that would explain why links suddenly failed.
At least it appears that fuzzybot has not gone mad after all, which is a great relief.
I never touched unit numbers. I only complained that the translation tags should not span sections.
Yes, I see that unit T8 was in the source all the time. It seems, however, that beeing placed between </ translate> and < translate> tags, it was "disabled". Following the various edits it must have somehow ended up beeing activated, causing ancient content to be inserted in the translated pages.
If this is correct then we should probably remove the T8 unit tag so that this kind of problem will not hit us again.
Can these meaningless changes be reverted? They do anything but harm and useless noise, imho.
This kind of formatting is inconsistent with the rest of the wiki and is very hard to be changed according to my language rules for this kind of texts.
An introduction to KDE/uk still shows my layout. What is wrong with it?
Yurchor, are you saying that we should avoid using ";" for formatting all together or are you simply saying don't change formatting unless it is actually broken? If the first is the case we need to add something about that on the Toolbox page. We do have a few pages, that use ";" formatting. Should we change those as we find them?
