Hint is necessary for translaters)

Hint is necessary for translaters)

Hi I am doubtful about the logic. You have cancelled my update in documentation, but translatewiki rules for translation, specify ALREADY that tags < .... > must NOT be translated. For me it is redundant. And if the rule changes, your recommendation can be forgotten. To follow your idea shoudln't we propagate the recommendation in each documentation where a tag appears in the text to translate? ... unthinkable.

Hi Christian, maybe you are right and that additional link is redundant to the global rule but I found that revert on gerrit review and by the way there are a lot of translation items where this hint is given too. I think it is not sure that all translators are knowing this rule but we had some translations on pywikibot parts where tags and templates where wrongly localized or translated and spread over projects via bots. Therfore I think it is better safe than sorry, isn't it?
