-Once the fix to
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]] from
-[[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged into ikiwiki upstream, the
-generated links' text will be optionally based on the page titles set

+broken links to translatable basewiki pages that lack po files
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+That's really confusing, especially as clicking such a link
+brings up an edit form to create a new, english page.
+
+This is with po_link_to=current or negotiated. With default, it doesn't
+happen..
+
+Also, this may only happen if the page being linked to is coming from an
+underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.
