Mass changes without consensus

Phabricator is no doubt a mess, because its maintainers care very little about i18n and refused to adopt any sensible development process. However, this has nothing to do with your decision to make changes without explanation, which make cooperation with other translators impossible.

The next time I see such a way of editing I'll apply a block.

I do my best and such block would be absuive, given that there's no such coordination visible. and I've corrected many things (including many typos, including orthographic and false-sense, and just used the tool manually; these are absolutely "massive" as you state). You are visibly using automation tools yourself and revert things blindly. I've not done anything that is abusive, and if there really exists some dicussions they should be pointed at by those starting them (the /qqq doc pages can be used for that). There's nothing I can see that would signal any problem. I was instructed in Phabricator tio make these changes and I have made them the normal way, patiently in a real review process (this module was never reviewed since the early "fast" translation, so there were real errors (causing troubles signaled in Phabricator, but denied there as the pPhabricator project does not care about problems in translations). So All must be tracked oin this wiki. I insist: if you want to apply some enforcemen,t or point to a discussion, you need to reference them in "/qqq" pages: this is is how this wiki works, but visibly you don't care and just use private background channels I'm not aware (and no body else can know them).

Translating Phabricator is a real long process, it is very complex, it requires testing that cannot be done directly on this wiki, we just detect the issue after facts, once they are imported in Phabricator. But I've made my best to be consistant.

For now these talks have NOT run (so you cannot speak of any existing "consensus"), because all this is still in a testing phase and we still need to see the result in Phabricator itself, after the import. But all these still require not jsut a single translation (all of them were made massively but not reviewed at all, and it was needed to pass these validation step, even if they require later fixes, where this would cause problems detected later. t that timle we can create a more formal analysis and reportt of the available options, and then take decisions. But I did not create any mess as I was consistant: this means that if someting needs to be changed, it will be easier to apply the changes consistantly using some search tools.

You then don't follow the normal rules, and just want to overuse your privilege to apply a "user block" ion this wiki for very unfair reasons, against an honnest user doing his best and definitely not abusing any right. I'm not a pirate or spammer of this wiki that I help maintain for many aspects (including in support talks). I don't say my opinion is definitive, but I explain it, and others can also give theirs. If there are disagreements, this can be discussed and eventually decided. But there was NO visible decision until now about this translation module which is still in alpha stage (even in French were it is one of the few most advanced languages, whereas most other languages have no support at all or are lagging very far behind).

Phabricator is definitely not translatable as easily as Mediawiki which has progressed since longer and has grown at musch lower rate. Phabricator was imported in TWN as a very large bulk project, and severe lack of documentation (most "/qqq" pages are misleading, they most often point to sources that are no longer there, it's hard to track where units are used).
