Another question related with context. Are there guidelines for developers regarding system message creation? Some messages seem really silly to me. Take for instance "whitelistedittext". The English is written as "You have to $1 to edit pages." What is $1? Will it seriously ever be anything other than "login"? If so then I need to use the grammar function, but if not I can just translate it without the variable. Yes? No?

This is a link with the caption of the message "loginreqlink", which is "login". It should be a parameter since this is an unusual link, and the parameter should be preserved.
You are welcome to write here or in #mediawiki-i18n about such concerns.
