In the messagwe MediaWiki:Validationstatistics-pndtime, the sentence:
The average delay for [[Special:OldReviewedPages|pages with unreviewed edits pending]] is '''$1'''.
is incomplete. A delay needs a time interval or duration, which is not
mentioned here. As it is, the sentence is not understandable.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
The delay time units are formatted via $wgLang. They are not hardcoded into the message.

The delay time units are formatted via $wgLang. They are not hardcoded into the
message.
Closing per above.
As a side note, the whole UI for this page will get rewritten anyway.
This bug report was not about the time units, which obviously are part of the inserted parameter.
My complaint goes to the fact that the message lacks clear information, which duration is meant; "delay for pages with unreviewed edits pending" does not say enough. Probably the average time between any page save and storing a review for the same page is meant? Or the average of the longest such times per page in case of multiple edits followed by a single review? Or something else? ...
Not reopening though, since the UI is being overhauled anyway.
BTW., Should we delay translating messages (which is extrorinary hard) for this
extension til after the rewrite?
The "delay for pages with unreviewed edits pending" is the elapsed time from the first currently pending edit. So the interval is [edit time,current time].
The UI rewrite could be months from now, unless the priority gets bumped.
