Thread:Support/ MediaWiki:Blocklogentry/de-ch not exported/reply (4)

This is a catch-22 (an impossible situation). Der Umherirrende is being asked to predict the actions of other users, before being allowed to make useful contributions himself!

Would this problem be effectively addressed if export were disabled on all subsidiary localisations like de-ch during translation rallies? Is it possible to write a bot which would automatically delete any translations identical to the root localisation (de in this case), before export is re-enabled?

I see that Portal:De has a prominent explanation about not creating identical translations. Are there explanations on all the portals which have language variations enabled? If not, I will have a go at drafting an explanation, and trying to find out which portals have this issue (including Portal:En!).
