Not at all: your message clears things up for me, *I* have misunderstood 
the design of the Translation header.

I believed that, the way it was intended to work was for pages using it 
to always copy the version from the page template, at all times; I 
didn't appreciate that it was a one-time copy from DefaultTemplate to 
the page in question, and then a live-transclusion from that page to its 
translations. I get it now!

Now I understand the mechanism better, my proposal is simpler: I'd like 
to extend the header in DefaultTemplate so that it includes a Discussion 
page link as well. Similar to how it looks on e.g. 
<https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWiki>. That means wrapping the existing 
translation code in a table, with the translations in a left-hand cell 
and the Discussion link in the right.

Any objections?


Best wishes,
