List of all system messages of translatewiki.net cannot be displayed

Hello,

the list of system messages of translatewiki.net cannot be displayed, it shows a blank page only. Thus it happens in Firefox and SeaMonkey, in Google Chrome and IE server error 500 is displayed.

Kind regards,

Yes, it's been broken for several months or perhaps some years. There are just too many messages on this wiki for Special:AllMessages' code to deal with, I've been told it's not reasonably feasible to fix it. You can always use it on the wikis where you see/use the messages/extensions, though: what would you like to use it for? Maybe there's an alternative here.

Hello Nemo,

thank you for your quick reply. I search an information about messages that are used for a certain extension but are not among the messages to be translated for this extension. See my post above about Echo extension. Another message, message MediaWiki:Echo-category-title-edit-thank I found among the messages of the Thanks extension, still with the echo- prefix. I don't like such moves into other extensions unless this message will be used then in the other extension only. Otherwise a lot of time is wasted to look for the requested message.

Kind regards,

Ah. Yes, search by key prefix is an unsupported use case for Translate/translatewiki.net, see Siebrand on bugzilla:32060. You have to use Special:AllMessages on a wiki with those extensions, for instance [1].

So I found the message in the Thanks extension by German Wikipedia system messages. And only because I found the message name on the help page for the Echo extension in German WP which I found by a link in an information banner. For the time stamp message I have the text only - the only text that could be true is this for MediaWiki:Centralauth-days-ago/de. But Centralauth is another extension.
