> I have no idea if this is feasible at all, in particular how much extra effort is involved on translatewiki side. It would prevent stale translations, though it introduces a bit more complexity to properly manage i18n key transition over time.

When a Translatewiki.net administrator or script detects a message getting renamed, FuzzyBot moves the existing translations over to the new title, so that they take effect immediately. This is usually desirable but happened to be undesirable in #6819.

On the other hand, a two-step dance would likely prevent Translatewiki.net from detecting a renaming. The new messages would take time to translate manually, while the old translations would become orphaned as soon as the source message gets deleted. Translators would continue to see these orphaned translations in translation memory suggestions when translating the new message, but it would be a passive process.

Someone with necessary permissions like @hlfan would need to go in and manually move all the existing translations to the new title. Otherwise, we’d wind up with the same outcome as in #6830.
