@Nemo: Good idea to use the page_id. However, 1037952 is the page_id for the target page: Template:汉语写法 ("B1"). Based on what Petr suggested, I don't think there is any separate entry in the page table for Template:漢語寫法. ("BC"). It's a good thing to know, and next time I'll try to include the page id.

@Petr: Thanks for listing the class files, as well as the metawiki link! I took a quick look at the three, and this seems like it's it. Specifically:

* LanguageZh.php will cause the parser to auto-translate titles / text based on variants. So in the example above, {{漢語寫法}} ("BC") is translated to {{汉语写法}} ("B1"). "BC" is not a valid title in the page table but "B1" is. Note that {{BC}} is what's actually on the page, and there is no way to get to B1 without going through LanguageZh.php (i.e.: this information can't be derived from the data dump)

* The translation is mostly on a character by character level (but not entirely, as per the metawiki link). The entire word "漢語寫法" is not in ZhConversion.php, but each of the first 3 characters characters are (the 4th character is the same in both cases).

I need to review this more, but it's enough to get me started.

Thanks!

This is intentional and it's a conversion from Traditional Chinese to
Simplified Chinese.

For more information, have at a look at the (quite old) page Automatic
conversion between simplified and traditional Chinese [1].
If you wanted to perform the same conversion by yourself, the relevant
code is in languages/classes/LanguageZh.php, includes/ZhConversion.php
and maintenance/language/zhtable/.
