Some MediaWiki:Coll-* messages
The messages:
- Coll-rendering page info text article ("{{MediaWiki:Coll-helppage}}/Rendering page info text")
- Coll-rendering collection info text article ("{{MediaWiki:Coll-helppage}}/Rendering collection info text")
- Coll-finished collection info text article ("{{MediaWiki:Coll-helppage}}/Rendering collection info text")
- Coll-finished page info text article ("{{MediaWiki:Coll-helppage}}/Rendering page info text")
are apparently not understood. Existing translations deviate grossly from each other and are in part contradictive to each other. I suggest to have these messages well documented and all translations fuzzied thereafter.
Are the new version for the French version what you expected ?
It seems that these 4 ressources are made to provide links to two articles explaining:
- How individual pages (articles) are rendered (a single article or Wiki page will become one or several pages in the rendered PDF ; it should explain the limitations of the PDF renderer, notably it is still not compatible with the <pageindex&lgt; feature which is very widely used in Wikisource, where the "collection" extension is completely unusable for now).
- How collections are rendered (all pages rendered for each selected articles of the collection are assemblied, and are renumbered relatively with each other, and some leading composite index/summary pages will be built, and the PDF will be terminated by additional pages giving the list of sources/authors and applicable licences).
Anyway, this "collection" extension is highly bogous or has too many limitations to be usable (and it gives severe constraints when creating articles that can be rendered with it).
