[Wikia-l] Email notifications in French are confusing creation with deletion

[Robin-P]

Thank you, Tim. Understood.
As most of the French volunteers are probably not
yet at their screens, I'll offer the following:
Just the last word varied, please:
"la page $PAGETITLE de {{SITENAME}} a été
modifiée".  (Same feminine participle ending as
for "créée".)

Translation of "page ... has been deleted" would
be "page ... a été supprimée".
(See
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Page_propos%C3%A9e_%C3%A0_la_suppression)

Hi,

the original problem is caused by MediaWikis
$CHANGEDORCREATED variable.

The french volunteers haven't yet
created/translated all messages.

Because
http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Enotif_body_delete/fr
does not exist yet (see
http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Enotif_body_delete
for
english version), there is a fallback to
http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Enotif_body/fr
with the
irritating message.

Fastest fix: Changing the phrase "la page
$PAGETITLE de {{SITENAME}} a
été $CHANGEDORCREATED" to "la page $PAGETITLE de
{{SITENAME}} a été
modifier". If this is correct french, I'll change
it accordingly.

Bye, Tim.
