TODO

-OTHERLANGUAGES dependencies
----------------------------
-
-Pages using `OTHERLANGUAGES` depend on any "master" and "slave" pages
-whose status is being displayed. It is supposed to trigger dependency
-loops, but no practical bugs were noticed yet.

-Should pages using the `OTHERLANGUAGES` template loop be declared as
