MediaWiki namespace.
The changes I am looking to make right now are
changing what it says on
the Talk tab (instead of "discussion") for one of my custom namespaces,
as well as adding things to the navigation bar.
MediaWiki:Nstab-<namespace>
I think that if you use messagesEn.php, then you have
to turn
$wgUseDatabaseMessages off, and that disables the stuff you do through
the MediaWiki namespace, but I'm not sure.
Yes to both.
which should I use for this and future customizations?
thanks!
As above.
