[[Template:Optional]]

Hi,

Template:Optional is strange and dysfunctional, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

It was recently changed to use "system messages" i18n-template-optional-1 and i18n-template-optional-2, but this doesn't actually work because they are not real system messages.

I tried to revert it to the change before it, but this doesn't totally help either because I see a "Template loop detected" error when it's rendered in the message documentation pane.

Do you happen to know how to fix it? You were involved in editing that template in the past, and you understand localized templates better than I do :)

Thanks!

Because translation pages of Template:Optional are redirected to Template:Optional :( https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&prefix=Template:Optional

It's because that MediaWiki:i18n-template-optional-1 and MediaWiki:i18n-template-optional-2 messages are not existed due to AbuseFilter problem. I'm sorry for breaking the translation.

Edit: I have reverted all my edits from the translations. I thought it could work for one language page, but it was disappointing.

I have prepared Template:Optional for translation. Request a translation administrator to mark the page for translation.
