As I mentioned in another message, this page is slow, sometimes broken,
and no longer produced as of 1.3.3. Instead use [[Special:Allmessages]]
which is the same thing but much faster and more reliable...
I'm not sure how to add *new* links. I think you
may need to go out
and edit SkinPHPTal.php and xhtml...stuff.
Basically there's not a convenient way yet. You got to do the... stuff.
:P Hopefully someone will have a chance to code up an easier way for
1.4. (This is a hint to your would-be coders out there...)
The more or less easily editable ones are the 'community portal' and
the site support link (set URL in $wgSiteSupportPage in
LocalSettings.php, and customize the link text in
[[MediaWiki:Sitesupport]].
WARNING: These changes will not take effect
immediatly. After I made
my changes the very next page I displayed was updated but after that
the change did not show up on later pages for another hour or more.
This was what caused me so much confusion.
All MediaWiki: messages changes made through the wiki should take
effect immediately. However, pages cached by your browser will still
show old text until you force a reload. (Hitting the 'refresh' button
usually is insufficient if the page itself hasn't been marked as
changed due to an edit or related page edit.)
