Nothing can be done, I'm told, but there are workarounds to let translators update the translations: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Project_chat&diff=15262670&oldid=15253894
This is not related to TUX btw.
Yes, sorry, it was just to give a vague timeframe/context of the internal change.

A few thousands edits were performed: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=&limit=5000&tagfilter=&contribs=user&target=BetaBot&namespace=1198 Where the !!FUZZY!! was not there explicitly, the bot edits were able to fix the diff: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Wikidata:Introduction/20/ro&action=history Where the !!FUZZY!! was already there, removing and readding it via bot doesn't have effect (although it works if done manually), see e.g. the still broken diff at https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Wikidata:Administrators/4/zh-tw&action=edit

I still see this on many (most?) Meta-Wiki translations.
You are lacking information: when were those translations originally made.

On https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&taction=proofread&group=!additions (it) I had a hard time finding one diff which *does* work (except some one-line units, where the diff is useless anyway). Among the units with wrong diff I could check, the stalest is from April 2012 and the most recent from March 2013. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Stewards/7/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_AbuseFilter/2/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_AbuseFilter/6/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/13/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/16/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/12/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/10/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/8/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/7/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/3/it&action=history https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Global_bans/28/it&action=history
