Hello,
Wikipedia has a message that appears on every page (currently "Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!"). I would like to know which system message this is.
MediaWiki:Sitenotice
Also, does MediaWiki automatically purge the database of deleted files after a period of time, or do I have to do this manually?
You have to do it manually, if I understood you correctly.
And in a similar vein, can I lock the database via MediaWiki?
Not anymore. Maybe there's an extension, but I doubt it's still maintained.
Thanks very much,
Sven
