--- Comment #1 from Nemo <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for the report, let's try to break it down in separate reports so that
it gets actionable.

19.00 < Nemo_bis> hypergrove: I asked it at

Apparently not filed, only bug 69796.

That's not about Special:PageMigration but it's covered in the last section of
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_administration#Life_of_a_translatable_page
A patch is pending: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/161931/4

That's really too much stuff for the sidebar, not going to be piled there (bug
43170).

This is already in the header, you may have forgotten some step of
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_example

I don't understand what this means.
