I’m sorry.

Tbat was not intended behavior, but postprocessing and resolution replacing the embarrassment placeholder.
Of course I will abstain, thanks for the guideline.

Indeed I am, but otherwise I cannot solve the many problems that otherwise would be hidden. Eg Qyzylorda Time is not included in Coverage:Modern, so it’s hidden to me when I’m not under Coverage:Comprehensive, yet it is untranslated and as such is on my SurveyTool Dashboard, but only when I’m under Coverage:Comprehensive.

Would you allow me to stay under Coverage:Comprehensive under these circumstances?

Will do, thanks. Yet I don’t retrieve the values to get rid of, and they’re not in XML neither. Perhaps when I saw them it was under ST shakedown and something went wrong for me.

Best regards,
