Ah okay, thank you. Unfortunately i don't have write access to any=20
pages in Project namespaces.

What i'll do is open a conversation about this on the relevant=20
Discussion/Talk pages, to bring it to the attention of those=20
who've previously worked on those pages.

i agree, but the relevant devs might disagree, for one or more=20
good reasons. :-)=20

Agreed. Yeah, i usually get it from the ToC.

In _theory_, as described on the Help:Translating page, each=20
section should be tagged:

but unfortunately that's not always the case, and adding such=20
tagging is one of the things on my increasingly large wiki TODO=20
list. :-) Although i also need to make sure i'm adding such=20
tagging when i do page overhauls, such as the recent work i've=20
done on the ALSA page ....

Of course - and i say this as a general comment, rather than one=20
specifically directed at Ben! - help in this regard would be=20
greatly appreciated. :-) Adding tagging, and changing [[...]]=20
links to {{Link|...}} to assist translation efforts, as the above=20
