been declared as being translatable, the needed POT and PO files are
created, and the PO files are checked into version control.
-Discussion pages
-----------------
+Discussion pages and other sub-pages
+------------------------------------
Discussion should happen in the language in which the pages are
written for real, *i.e.* the "master" one. If discussion pages are
enabled, "slave" pages therefore link to the "master" page's
discussion page.
+Likewise, "slave" pages are not supposed to have sub-pages;
+[[WikiLinks|wikilink]] that appear on a "slave" page therefore link to
+the master page's sub-pages.
+
Translating
-----------
If [[tips/untrusted_git_push]] is setup, one can edit the PO files in one's
preferred `$EDITOR`, without needing to be online.
+Markup languages support
+------------------------
+
+Markdown is well supported. Some other markup languages supported by
+ikiwiki mostly work, but some pieces of syntax are not rendered
+correctly on the slave pages:
+
+* [[reStructuredText|rst]]: anonymous hyperlinks and internal
+ cross-references
+* [[wikitext]]: conversion of newlines to paragraphs
+* [[creole]]: verbatim text is wrapped, tables are broken
+* [[html]] and LaTeX: not supported yet; the dedicated po4a modules
+ could be used to support them, but they would need a security audit
+* other markup languages have not been tested.
+

TODO
====
into the Pot file, and let it propagate; should be fixed in
`773de05a7a1ee68d2bed173367cf5e716884945a`, time will tell.
-Page titles in links
---------------------
-
-To use the page titles set with the [meta](plugins/meta) plugin when
-rendering links would be very much nicer, than the current
-"filename.LL" format. This is actually a duplicate for
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]].
-
-Page formats
+Better links
------------
-Markdown is well supported, great, but what about others?
-
-The [po](plugins/po) uses `Locale::Po4a::Text` for every page format;
-this can be expected to work out of the box with most other wiki-like
-formats supported by ikiwiki. Some of their ad-hoc syntax might be
-parsed in a strange way, but the worst problems I can imagine would be
-wrapping issues; e.g. there is code in po4a dedicated to prevent
-re-wrapping the underlined Markdown headers.
+### Page title in links
-While it would be easy to better support formats such as [[html]] or
-LaTeX, by using for each one the dedicated po4a module, this can be
-problematic from a security point of view.
-
-**TODO**: test the more popular formats and write proper documentation
-about it.
+Using the fix to
+[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]] from
+[[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch, the generated links' text is based on
+the page titles set with the [[meta|plugins/meta]] plugin. This has to
+be merged upstream, though.
Translation quality assurance
-----------------------------
Note: committing to the underlying repository is a way to bypass
this check.

+Creating new pages on the web
+-----------------------------
+
+See [[contrib/po|contrib/po]].
+
+Renaming/deleting pages
+-----------------------
+
+Renaming or deleting a translation in the CGI should be forbidden.
+Implementing this requires two new hooks: `canrename` and `canremove`,
+that would be run respectively by the `rename` and the `remove` plugins.
+
+Robustness tests
+----------------
+
+### Disabling the plugin
+
+- enabling the plugin with `po_translatable_pages` set
+- enabling the plugin without `po_translatable_pages` set: **OK**
+- disabling the plugin: **OK**
+
+### Changing the plugin config
+
+- adding existing pages to `po_translatable_pages`: **OK**
+- removing existing pages from `po_translatable_pages`: **OK**
+- adding a language to `po_slave_languages`: **OK**
+- removing a language from `po_slave_languages`: **OK**
+- changing `po_master_language`: **OK**
+- replacing `po_master_language` with a language previously part of
+ `po_slave_languages`: needs two rebuilds, but **OK** (this is quite
+ a perverse test actually)
+
+### Creating pages
+
+- creating a master page via RCS: **OK**
+- creating a master page via CGI: **OK**
+
+### Deleting pages
+
+- removing a master page via RCS: **OK**
+- removing a translation via RCS: **OK**
+- removing a master page via CGI: **OK**
+- removing a translation via CGI: **OK**
+
+### Renaming pages
+
+- renaming a master page via RCS: **OK** (but the old translations
+ are lost, because not all RCS track file renaming)
+- renaming a master page and its translations via RCS: **OK**
+- renaming a master page via CGI: **OK**
+- renaming a translation via RCS
+- renaming a translation via CGI
+
+### Misc
-See [[contrib/po]].
+- general test with `usedirs` disabled: **OK**
+- general test with `indexpages` enabled
+- general test with `po_link_to=default`
Documentation
-------------
Maybe write separate documentation depending on the people it targets:
-translators, wiki administrators, hackers. This plugin is maybe
-complex enough to deserve this.
