Wikipǣdia:MediaWiki namespace

The MediaWiki namespace is a mechanism allowing non-developers to customise or translate the MediaWiki web interface. Each message in the $wgAllMessagesEn array in Language.php now corresponds to a page in the MediaWiki namespace. For example, the "from Wikipedia" message which is displayed at the top of each page is available at MediaWiki:Fromwikipedia.

For instructions on using this namespace, and for more information about it, please see m:MediaWiki namespace. For a list of topical category sidebars in the Mediawiki namespace, see Wikipedia:topics.
