Yes, we can run my deleteEqualMessages.php again, for all wikis.
It does require byte equivalence. And in my experience that means it almost never does what you want. People will copy it slightly differently due to spacing or with less generic syntax (eg Wikipedia: vs Project), or someone will edit it since then on TWN.

Couldn't you also make sure to edit things in both places? That is,

The "expect that it will be overwritten" part isn't how it works. The
local
copy will remain in effect until someone deletes it.
Wouldn't "delete all local overrides" (or "all local overrides added since 2018-09-27") be a reasonable step to include in migration after the "new translatewiki" is turned back on? --scott _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
