Well, I surrender. It doesn't work either way. When I edit
MediaWiki:Sitesubtitle to read "Whatever else", the cur text in the DB
changes to "Whatever else", while the Special:Allmessages Current text
still exhibits "The Free Encyclopedia", and the actual subtitle is "The
Free Encyclopedia".
The MediaWiki:Copyright cur text says "All text, etc.", while the
Special:Allmessages Current text reads "Content is available, etc.",
while the Default text is "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. All
content, etc." ?!
