The purpose of this interpolation is not reuse anything but rather to wrap the words in some markup for emphasis. This allows the site to insert markup instead of making translators responsible for maintaining the markup themselves.

You should decline [the “open data” message](https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&showMessage=site.about_section.open_data_open_data&group=out-osm-site&language=de) to the correct case based on how it would appear in [the surrounding message](https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&showMessage=site.about_section.open_data_1_html&group=out-osm-site&language=de). The shorter message is limited to this context alone. If it were more reusable, it would have a different ID.

As long as you translate the message using [the default editor](https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&showMessage=site.about_section.open_data_open_data&group=out-osm-site&language=de), not the raw wikitext editor, you should see [this documentation](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Osm:Site.about_section.open_data_open_data/qqq) that explains how it’s used. Conversely, when you translate [the overall message](https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&showMessage=site.about_section.open_data_1_html&group=out-osm-site&language=de) in the default editor, you’ll see [this documentation](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Osm:Site.about_section.open_data_1_html/qqq) informing you of the purpose of the placeholders and the even broader context.
