+### Enabling/disabling the plugin

+* enabling the plugin with `po_translatable_pages` set to whitelist: **OK**
+* 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/deleting/renaming pages
+
+All cases of master/slave page creation/deletion/rename, both via RCS

+Duplicate %links ?
+------------------

+That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
