-OTHERLANGUAGES dependencies
----------------------------
-
-Pages using `OTHERLANGUAGES` depend on any "master" and "slave" pages
-whose status is being displayed. It is supposed to trigger dependency
-loops, but no practical bugs were noticed yet.
-
-Should pages using the `OTHERLANGUAGES` template loop be declared as

-should, but this may clutter the backlinks.

 Misc. improvements
 ------------------
 
-### preview
-
-preview does not work for PO files.
-
-### automatic POT/PO update
-
-Use the `change` hook instead of `needsbuild`?
-
 ### page titles
 
-Use nice page titles from meta plugin in links, as inline already does. This is
-actually a duplicate for
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]], which might be fixed
-by something like [[todo/using_meta_titles_for_parentlinks]].

 ### websetup
 
 Which configuration settings are safe enough for websetup?
 
-### parentlinks
-
-When the wiki home page is translatable, the parentlinks plugin sets
-`./index.html` as its translations' single parent link. Ideally, the home page's
-translations should get no parent link at all, just like the version written in
-the master language.
-
 ### backlinks
 
-If a given translatable `sourcepage.mdwn` links to \[[destpage]],
-`sourcepage.LL.po` also link to \[[destpage]], and the latter has the master
-page *and* all its translations listed in the backlinks.
+`po_link_to = negotiated`: if a given translatable `sourcepage.mdwn`
+links to \[[destpage]], `sourcepage.LL.po` also link to \[[destpage]],
+and the latter has the master page *and* all its translations listed
+in the backlinks.
+
+`po_link_to = current`: seems to work nicely
