What is the difference between elements.enabled and elements_i18n.enabled? It appears, toggling the status button on an entry affects only the elements.enabled value.  What affects the elements_i18n.enabled value?  When and how would we choose to update the enabled column in the elements_i18n table?
If your section is enabled in multiple locales, each locale will get its own status lightswitch setting, which maps back to elements_i18n.enabled. It’s how you can have individual entries enabled/disabled on a per-locale basis.
