+If a page contains a WikiLink to itself, ikiwiki does not normally
+turn that into a hyperlink. However, if a translated page contains a
+WikiLink to itself, a hyperlink is inserted, at least with the default
+`po_link_to` the link points to the English version of the page. Is there a
+good reason for that to be done? --[[Joey]]

-po files in underlay
---------------------
+Duplicate %links ?
+------------------
-I think this plugin doesn't yet allow po files to be present in an
-underlay to translate files also from the underlay.
+I notice code in the scan hook that seems to assume
+that %links will accumulate duplicate links for a page.
+That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
+that po might be replacing the only link on a page, in error?
+--[[Joey]]
-In `istranslatablefile`, it specifically checks that
-the file is present in srcdir.
+Name of toplevel index page
+---------------------------
-Problem with this is that it precludes using po to translate
-the basewiki (work which is well under way for Danish BTW),
-since the translated po files cannot really be used.
+Normally at the top index page of a wiki, you see the wiki name at
+the top. However, at the top *translated* index page, you see something
+like "index.da". --[[Joey]]
-A further problem comes if one wants to use a non-English language as the
-`po_master_language`. It would be good to get a translated
-basewiki, taking po files from the underlay and using them as the primary
-page sources, but this plugin doesn't yet support that.
+Pagespecs
+---------
-And, maybe it shouldn't? A user would not expect to see a po file when
-editing the index page of their wiki, just because they're using a
-different language. Instead, we might want to build localized .mdwn files
-for the basewiki, and then ikiwiki would just use that translated underlay.
-The when the user edits index, they get a nice mdwn file to start from.
+I was suprised that, when using the map directive, a pagespec of "*"
+listed all the translated pages as well as regular pages. That can
+make a big difference to an existing wiki when po is turned on,
+and seems generally not wanted.
+(OTOH, you do want to match translated pages by
+default when locking pages.) --[[Joey]]
-So, we seem to have two cases, in one po files from the underlay should be
-used, in the other not. Hmm. Support both?
+Edit links on untranslated pages
+--------------------------------
-> Update -- I've written po2wiki, which can spit out translated underlays
-> in markdown format.
---[[Joey]]
+If a page is not translated yet, the "translated" version of it
+displays wikilinks to other, existing (but not yet translated?)
+pages as edit links, as if those pages do not exist.
-Duplicate %links ?
-------------------
+That's really confusing, especially as clicking such a link
+brings up an edit form to create a new, english page.
-I notice code in the scan hook that seems to assume
-that %links will accumulate duplicate links for a page.
-That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
-that po might be replacing the only link on a page, in error?
---[[Joey]]
+This is with po_link_to=current. With default, it doesn't happen..
