keeping a list of messages with some problems

keeping a list of messages with some problems

What would you do, if you find a translation error accross a number of messages and you want share a list of them with other people, in order to improve them together? I could think of several ways to do it. However, none of the three is satisfiable to me.

  1. Make a index page and write links to those problematic messages.
    • It would be difficult to keep it update.
  2. Assign a category like Category:Ja_questionable_messages_regarding_FooBar to each message.
    • It might destroy the interface if such categories aren't ignored when included into MediaWiki.
  3. Add some mnemonic comment like <!-- JaProblemFooBar --> into each message, making it easy to find with Special:Search.
    • I don't know if the search works in that way.

Is there any other cleverer way?

I suggest prepending the message with string !!FUZZY!! to mark it untranslated. It is still not possible to differentiate those from messages without any translation at all.

In short, I would like to (1) make sets of messages excluded from being imported to MediaWiki and (2) categorize them according to different types of problems including the translation of a specific term.

Marking with FUZZY does (1), as you suggest, but I wonder how you would do (2), categorization. Do you have any ideas?
