Bug ID: 46716
Summary: Saving a translated unit updates the wrong (viz., the
preceding) unit in the translation page
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Translate

Example: saving this unit:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:FDC_portal/CentralNotice2013-2/2/es&oldid=5347994
("Comenta cuatro ...") caused this simultaneous edit in the translated page as
usual: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=5347995&oldid=5347984 (see
also the matching edit summary: 'Created page with "Comenta cuatro ...'), which
however only changed the preceding unit ("Ayuda al Comité de ...", see diff).
The problem is particularly severe when saving the translation of the last
unit, because the translation page will remain incomplete even though the
translator has actually provided translations of the entire text.
Example: After
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=5326458&oldid=5326448 (the most
recent edit to that page at the time of filing this bug), the page remained at
"98% complete" status and the very last paragraph is still in English
("Wikimedia Sweden has started ..."), even though the translation is at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translations:Wikimedia_Highlights,_February_2013/61/da
("Wikimedia Sverige har indledt ..."); this misled me to into not distributing
that translation to the corresponding communities yet because I erroneously
assumed that the translator was not done yet.
Purging the cache (e.g.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Highlights,_February_2013/da&action=purge
) did not have an effect in resolving the situation (the last unit still
displays the English original instead of the existing translation).
