[TUX] Provide a link to open the message separately
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Could there be a link to open the message separately? (Like in the old interface, when you click the message name in the left column). It could e.g. be there in the top-left corner when a message is opened, where the title is written anyway (like "FreeCol:Freecol.desktopEntry.Comment/tet", or "Translations:Help:FAQ/78/de"). I would find this sometimes helpful to access the "full" editing window, with special characters etc.).

Likely closely related:
While a direct link is there for /qqq, it is lacking or not funtionning for helper languages. It is not uncommon to spot minor glitches or typing errors in those translations. There should be a quick and easy way to fix them.

If this is not done, https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Writing_special_characters_in_the_new_interface needs a new solution.

This may get rejected, but for now I'm raising priority because it's one of the most common requests and it needs to be addressed.

I just realized that this wont work for untranslated messages :(

The link to Special:Translations always "works", linking at least the source message if nothing else...
