re: word order
Snip
Even it looks awkward and unsophisticated, for assuring better
internationalization, it would have better to put the whole wikified
message into one sole MediaWiki message, since the grammatical word
order, say, syntax, is widely varied among different natural
languages.
Indeed. Patchwork messages[1] are highly discouraged in software localisation, and in
these types of text probably even more so. Every time it is used, at least one sad kitten
dies[2].
