-OTHERLANGUAGES dependencies
----------------------------
-
-Pages using `OTHERLANGUAGES` depend on any "master" and "slave" pages
-whose status is being displayed. It is supposed to trigger dependency
-loops, but no practical bugs were noticed yet.
-
-Should pages using the `OTHERLANGUAGES` template loop be declared as
-linking to the same page in other versions? To be rigorous, they
-should, but this may clutter the backlinks.

 Security checks
 ---------------
 
-- `refreshpofiles` uses `system()`, whose args have to be checked more
-  thoroughly to prevent any security issue (command injection, etc.).
-  > Always pass `system()` a list of parameters to avoid the shell.
-  > I've checked in a change fixing that. --[[Joey]]
-- `refreshpofiles` and `refreshpot` create new files; this may need
-  some checks, e.g. using `IkiWiki::prep_writefile()`
-  > Yes, it would be ideal to call `prep_writefile` on each file

 Misc. improvements
 ------------------
 
-### preview
-
-preview does not work for PO files.
-
-### automatic POT/PO update
-
-Use the `change` hook instead of `needsbuild`?
-
 ### page titles
 
-Use nice page titles from meta plugin in links, as inline already does. This is
-actually a duplicate for
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]], which might be fixed
-by something like [[todo/using_meta_titles_for_parentlinks]].

-### websetup

+links to \[[destpage]], `sourcepage.LL.po` also link to \[[destpage]],
+and the latter has the master page *and* all its translations listed

-> I see no problems with `po_master_language` and `po_slave_languages`
-> (assuming websetup handles the hashes correctly). Would not hurt to check
-> that the values of these are legal language codes, in `checkconfig`. 
-> `po_translatable_pages` seems entirely safe. `po_link_to` w/o usedirs
-> causes ikiwiki to error out. If it were changed to fall back to a safe
-> setting in this case rather than error, it would be safe.
-> --[[Joey]]
+`po_link_to = current`: seems to work nicely
 
 ### parentlinks
 
-When the wiki home page is translatable, the parentlinks plugin sets
-`./index.html` as its translations' single parent link. Ideally, the home page's
-translations should get no parent link at all, just like the version written in
-the master language.

-### backlinks
-
-If a given translatable `sourcepage.mdwn` links to \[[destpage]],
-`sourcepage.LL.po` also link to \[[destpage]], and the latter has the master
-page *and* all its translations listed in the backlinks.
+When `usedirs` is disabled and the home page is translatable, the
+parent link to the wiki home page is broken (`/index.html`).
