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]]
