Summary: EditTool i18n messages with markup should be avoided
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: UsabilityInitiative
AssignedTo: [email protected]

In the Usability initiative extension, EditTool section, there are
(imho repititive) messages with:
# wikitext markup,
# html markup, which usually would be generated by the parser.
Imho, it is bad coding style to have them, and have them translated.
They should be automatically generated.
Pure technical changes in the parser output should not lead to
the necessity to amend and retranslate (lots of) i18n messages
elsewhere.
I believe, there should be pure textual messages.
Wikitext markup could be added programmatically.
(Altenatively, have wikitextual messages only)
Parser calls should be used to convert them to html.
Maybe, a special hook, or parameter, "convert sample/snippet"
would be required to achieve this goal, but having that is
certainly worth the added safety, plus few hundred hours of
translators labour.
