Hoi,
As far as I understand it, for an anonymous user the message is first the
language of the Wiki, then the fall back language for that language and then
English. When a user has set a preference, it is this language then a
potential fall back language and then English.
You always get a message, whether or not you get the message.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,
AFAIK there is no document on
mediawiki.org which says this
definitively yet. what order are the following things consulted in, in
finding a relevant system message?
XX - wiki's default language (not en, for argument's sake)
YY - user's language preference (not en or XX)
ZZ - language code specified in the URL as uselang=ZZ (not en, XX or YY)
A MessagesEn.php
B MessagesXX.php
C MessagesYY.php
D MessagesZZ.php
E MediaWiki:Message
F MediaWiki:Message/XX
G MediaWiki:Message/YY
H MediaWiki:Message/ZZ
??? any others???
(assume also for interest's sake that a particular one may not be
defined, so it has to keep looking)
Is this the order?
H
E
D
B
A
thanks,
Brianna
