How will this handle incomplete translations? E.g. it could post

* all existing translation pages including partial ones (maybe not such a good
idea)

*or only those at 100% (there may be problems with bug 47864 though) 

*or only those whose status has been set to "published" (analogous to what
CentralNotice does)


BTW, regarding "automagically": Notice that the existing solution which relies
on {{CONTENTLANG}} doesn't quite deal with the language village pumps on the
multilingual projects on Commons and Wikidata (where {{CONTENTLANG}} = en).
Examples are [[commons:Project:Café]] (in
[[m:Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery/es]])
or [[d:Project:Warung Kopi]] (in
[[m:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Tech_ambassadors]]). It may be too much to
demand from this bug to fix the way Commons and Wikidata handle their
multilinguality, but one should be aware of this limitation.
