Description

All code like _('Please see HelpOnEditing.') should be replaced with _('Please see %(pagetitle)s.') % {'pagetitle': _('HelpOnEditing') }. It would also be nice to have a script, e.g. a commit hook, that would look for these raw references in the code, and generate warnings. This new approach will avoid the extra work of looking up the right name of the page when translating the messages in the .po files, and will also centralize the title translation in one single place.

Steps to reproduce

Try to change a page title translation (e.g. msgid "HelpOnEditing") to a better name. You will have to either translate all the messages where it is mentioned, or keep all the raw references within the other messages untranslated. This last for example is the current approach in this translation.

Strings to replace

The following regexes can be used in a po file to detect strings with raw references to translatable system pages. Once detected, they need to be updated in the source code and the po file needs to be generated again.

These regexes found the following string fragments in Moin 1.9.0:

Discussion

RenatoSilva - Is it possible to write a commit hook which would even deny the commit if the changes would introduce these raw references?
