Dumb question... in 1.4.3, does database message substitution work right out
of the box, or do I have to turn it on somewhere?
After inserting some print statments in various parts of the MW code, I can
verify that nothing's getting substituted from the database, neither what I
added, nor what came with the base product. It looks like it's all coming
from language files.

is for This is for 1.4.3.
I followed the instructions to the letter, I think.
The article MediaWiki:Wantedpages already existed, and
contained the text
"Wanted pages." This works OK.
The article MediaWiki:Wantedpages-url did not exist. I created
it with the
text "Special:Wantedpage
Here is what I have in my LocalSettings.php:
$wgNavigationLinks = array (
array( 'text'=>'mainpage',
'href'=>'mainpage' ),
array( 'text'=>'recentchanges',
'href'=>'recentchanges-url' ),
array( 'text'=>'wantedpages',
'href'=>'wantedpages-url' ), #
Change is here
array( 'text'=>'randompage',
'href'=>'randompage-url' ),
array( 'text'=>'portal',
'href'=>'portal-url' ),
array( 'text'=>'currentevents',
'href'=>'currentevents-url' ),
array( 'text'=>'help',
'href'=>'helppage' ),
array( 'text'=>'sitesupport',
'href'=>'sitesupport-url' ),
);
The first time I did this, someone may have retrieved the page before
MediaWiki:Wantedpages-url existed.
What could have happened here? Did I get a bad value cached somewhere?
Works for me. If you think it's a caching issue, try logging in (IIRC,
full-page caching is only done with anonymous users).
Make sure that [[MediaWiki:Wantedpages-url]] has this text:
Special:Wantedpages
Here's the code I added to LocalSettings.php:
$wgNavigationLinks[] = array('text'=>'wantedpages',
'href'=>'wantedpages-url');
Does this help any? Are you using a non-english wiki? (Check the value
of {{ns:-1}})
