Hallo! This is a special case of Bug 2030: anomalies in the "Navigation" menue while selecting a different language interface in [[Special:Preferences]] and its duplicate Bug 4088: preserve navigation and toolbox links regardless of select user interface The screen dump http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=1109 ilustrates the problem. If you want to reproduce the mentioned behaviour log in at http://test.wikipedia.jp/ and select 'he' as user intrface. What happened: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/wikipedia/phase3/languages/LanguageHe.php shows that "currentevents" => "-", is the "MediaWiki default value" for 'he'. To my understanding when changing the interface to another language *available translations* for "titles" from the navigation and toolbox (defined in [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]) should be displayed. What works until now: If no translation exists the untranslated "title" from the "MediaWiki:Sidebar" is preserved. What should be changed: A translation as "-" should be regarded as "invalid". To my understanding it should not mather if it comes from the LanguageXx.php file or from a "local" MediaWiki:Foo/xx as http://test.wikipedia.jp/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Currentevents/he (which is not the case at http://test.wikipedia.jp/ ). best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
You should never use "-" for the link _text_. Set it for the link _target_ to disable it. The older code was not very consistent about this, but with multiple language selection it has to be this way.

identified some more: 5) [[wiktionary:sq:Main_Page]] - [[wiktionary:sq:MediaWiki:Sidebar]], [[wiktionary:sq:Portal]], [[wiktionary:sq:Portal-url]] 6a) [[wikipedia:pa:Main_Page]] - [[wikipedia:pa:MediaWiki:Sidebar]], [[wikipedia:pa:Currentevents]], [[wikipedia:pa:Currentevents-url]] 6b) [[wikibooks:pa:Main_Page]] - [[wikibooks:pa:MediaWiki:Sidebar]], [[wikibooks:pa:Currentevents]], [[wikibooks:pa:Currentevents-url]] 6c) [[wiktionary:pa:Main_Page]] - [[wiktionary:pa:MediaWiki:Sidebar]], [[wiktionary:pa:Currentevents]], [[wiktionary:pa:Currentevents-url]] *note* The change should be done both at the local wiki's and also using a "unified patch". See [[meta:MediaWiki_localization#Create_a_patch]]
Resolved Invalid – it's not a bug. (By the way, "currentevents" is now fixed.)
(In reply to comment #7) > Resolved Invalid – it's not a bug. (By the way, "currentevents" is now fixed.) This is a configuration / validation issue. Thanks for the fix in MessagesHe.php. However some other languages would generate "-" in navigation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar?uselang=pa
