Mistake done on the wiki translation + past translations for French

Hello everyone,

When I need to illustrate tweets or explain how to do some stuff to
people I'm helping via the LibreOfficeFR twitter account or via our Ask
instance, I often have to link to the page dedicated to the user profile[1].

While this page was completely translated in French, since the moment
the new localization tool has been installed on MediaWiki, the past
translations are gone. Do we still have previous translations or do we
need to (re)translate everything?

Also, when translating the page dedicated to the ESC committee[2], I
made a mistake. My browser lagged and I miss-clicked on British English
rather than French, which means I now have created (by mistake) an
additional page for British English. How can I remove it?

Thanks for your help,

You can view history and click the last old version: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=UserProfile/fr&oldid=168198

The translation might be out of date, though. You can use the migration tool: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:PageMigration according to the instructions here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF_Wiki/Multilingual#Migrating_old_translated_content_to_the_current_system

If the content of some paragraph does not match, then re-translate it.

I removed the British English page.

Thanks to both of you, Ilmari and Raal. :slight_smile:

I'll follow the migration guide and the FAQ and thanks the removal of my
mistake :slight_smile:

I'll get back to you if I have other questions :slight_smile:

Hello everyone,

Good news, I have retranslated everything in French for the user profile
page [1].

The only issue I have is that when special characters needed to be
escaped for in-article anchors. I had to submit a dummy translation to
get the accentuated characters escaped, check the link that has been
generated and integrate that link back into the translation.

See the line with:
[[UserProfile/fr#Emplacements_par_d.C3.A9faut|décrit plus bas]]

In "Emplacement par défaut", since I have an accentuated character, I
had to create the in-article link in two steps like described above. I
was wondering whether MediaWiki was allowing a simpler solution.

Thanks for your highlights,

Possibly a request could be created in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/271/ -> Open tasks -> Create Task (top right)

I could not find an existing task for it.
