--- Comment #7 from Siebrand <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for elaborating, Jared. This doesn't clarify to me what you mean with
comment 4. I'll try to summarize how I interpret all previous comments.

1. (per description and comment 1): Vector works in such a way that each
sidebar section is collapsible. ULS adds a section to pages without
interlanguage links so that the gear icon needs can be placed there. As a
consequence, this causes a collapsible section that collapses or expands 0
items, and may confuse users. This report requests to enhance Vector so that
empty sections can exist but will not be collapsible/expandable.

2. (per comment 4): It is proposed to put the text "translate this page" in
this empty section. "translate this page" is an unknown concept in ULS and
Vector. It is unclear in which light this is mentioned.

A. It could be that you are proposing to use this section to put a UI text
"translate this page" in when we create a feature that makes it possible to
translate content of the current wiki to a wiki in another language in the same
wiki family (for example from German language Wikipedia to French language
Wikipedia). This element would be similar to the Wikidata feature 

B. It could refer to the existing "translate this page" UI text that the
Translate extension uses for the "page translation" feature on for example
Meta-Wiki and mediawiki.org where this text is currently centered at the top of
the content[1].

Both options would lead to something similar to the Wikidata feature "Edit
links"[2]

There may be option C which I did not consider. In any case, if it's A or B, it
would be feature creep on this particular issue, in my opinion, although it's
worth discussion both options A and B in as separate issues :).
