 On wordpress.org, requests to wordpress.org/page/n/ (where 'n' is a
 number) - as well as requests followed by arbitrary queries (e.g.,
 https://wordpress.org/page/2/?order=cats) - return a 404 status and
 template. This is the correct behaviour.

 On Rosetta sites, however, this is not the case.
 URLs like https://fr,wordpress.org/page/2/?order=cats and
 https://ja.wordpress.org/page/13/?field_department_tid=All&order=title&sort=asc

 (note the presence of the order parameter) return the news template.

 In these cases, the Rosetta sites should behave in the same way as the
 main site.
