 wp-admin/includes/network.php includes the string:
 {{{
 __( 'Add the following to your %1$s file in %2$s <strong>above</strong>
 the line reading <code>/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.
 */</code>:' )
 }}}

 The code block is a quote from a file and translating it doesn't make any
 sense, but including it in the translatable string signals to translators
 that they should translate it.

 This is confusing, and creates unnecessary work.

 We should pull this substring out of the translatable string to make
 translating easier and less error prone.

 Patch attached.

 p.s.  Some examples of this string being being incorrectly translated at
 time of writing:
