As far as I know, there is one very convenient and useful extension, which is available since version 1.36. This is Translate. Don't want to use it for a wiki to make it easy to translate pages?

Fandom is currently on 1.33. This may be something to bring up after they upgrade their MediaWiki version again.
Well, you wouldn't need to wait for long since that upgrade is sort of already ongoing. https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Brandon_Rhea/Fandom_is_upgrading_to_MediaWiki_1.37_as_part_of_our_commitment_to_keeping_the_platform_up_to_date
I know.
I have asked about this during Dev Office Hours and I'm waiting for a response from Staff to see if it's possible (at all) to have it enabled (after the migration).
I'll note, however, that many users expressed their disdain towards the Translate extension. I am not sure whether that is because multi-language wikis are generally hard to maintain (I imagine Extension:Translate at least tries to make it easier) and shouldn't be very common, or because Extension:Translate really does not provide a better experience in comparison to our current article translation mechanism. What I know is that the process of editing the base page while keeping it translatable looks pretty complicated from my (very short) experience on MediaWiki.org.
I want to raise this issue again, because MediaWiki already has version 1.37. Should this extension be connected to the wiki?
The migration is still ongoing. Many wikis, including this one, are still on MW 1.33
For me, it seemed like an eternity... but let's not curl up, because soon this wiki will be released to a new version, and what will we do?
What do you think?
