I'm not sure how the logic for this feature would work since in some cases we would not want to strip query parameters. I wonder if we might not wind up causing more problems?

It's just on a translator-by-translator basis. NYT query strings, for example, can always be stripped (and are in my report generation code).

Is this still an issue?

Sure. NYT articles, for example, still have query strings attached. I haven't looked at the query strings from other translators, but I imagine some can be stripped, especially on the news/magazine ones.

Closing. This is something that we try to do in translator development already, and it's not a bug, just a general design guideline.
