Thread:Support/Group counts of undone translations in Special:LanguageStats

(1)
This [ single edit] reduced the count shown in Special:LanguageStats for ksh for the group "MediaWiki most used" by one from 1 to 0 and at the same time increased the the count for the enclosing group [ MediaWiki] by one from 32 to 33, leaving the other two subgroup counts unaltered at 22 for MediaWiki 1.17 an at 6 for MediaWiki 1.18.

This is contradicitve. Since the absolute amounts are just equal, it may point to a possible cause for the known bug of sometimes wrong counts, which could be a wrong sign when updating counts for enclosing groups.

The edit altered a FUZZY message to be not FUZZY any more.

Note, that both subgroup counts of 22 for MediaWiki 1.17 and 6 for MediaWiki 1.18 were wrong, following the respective links showed 0, and 1, respective messages needing translation or update,

(2)
[ Adding a previously missing message] in the subgroup "MediaWiki 1.18" both decreased the counts for the subgroup "MediaWiki 1.18" and the enclosing group "MediaWiki" by one each from 6 to 5 for the subgroup and from 33 to 32 for the enclosing group.

This, together with the above, may suggest that altering and adding messages may be treated differently when it comes to updating the respective counts.
