::::{{ping|Something B}} [[Special:MyLanguage]] only works [[Proposal:Add Translate extension to Wiki|if the Translate extension is installed]]. It's one of the many benefits of this extension, but the effort to install it has stalled. – [[User:Minh Nguyen|Minh <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Nguyễn</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Minh Nguyen|<span style="display: inline-block;">💬</span>]]</sup> 22:26, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
<p>The page currently uses {{tl|Keylink}} and {{tl|Valuelink}} in order to link to each key and value, but I think we should replace this usage with old-fashioned {{tl|TagKey}} and {{tl|TagValue}}, which I'm [[Template talk:TagValue#Lua rewrite|rewriting for better performance]]. {{tl|Keylink}} and {{tl|Valuelink}} rely on data items to discover translations in other languages. While data items are a good tool for discovering translations of ordinary wiki pages like "[[Bicycle]]" and "[[Tags]]", I think it's overkill for key or value description pages, which have predictable titles. From MediaWiki's perspective, fetching a data item is equally expensive as checking whether a page exists at a particular title, but there's also a cap on the number of data items that can be fetched per page.</p><p>The only current benefit of {{tl|Keylink}} and {{tl|Valuelink}} is that it can fall back to a more closely related language than English without having to check ''that'' page's existence. But currently it can only perform language fallbacks based on {{tl|langcode}} – that is, the language implied by the page name. The page might as well specify a fallback language explicitly, saving everyone effort. [[MediaWiki talk:Lang#Still To-Do]] would make it possible for the fallback to be based on the user's preferred interface language, but this doesn't really require data items.</p><p> – [[User:Minh Nguyen|Minh <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Nguyễn</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Minh Nguyen|<span style="display: inline-block;">💬</span>]]</sup> 22:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)<p>
