IMHO, a way to quickly find which opages have a non-default content would be very useful.
That's very easy. The ones which have been modified will be listed with a pink background in Special:Allmessages, making them very easy to find by skimming down the page.
I think perhaps he was suggesting a Special:Custommessages, to make it easier to find them and not have to worry about skipping by some with an accidental, double "page down". (I wonder how visible a pink background is to someone who is red colorblind?) Given that the number of messages likely to be customized is relatively small and (probably) a relatively constant set (per wiki), and that the total number of messages is quite large, it would be nice to have an easy way to work with just the ones you have modified from the defaults.
Mmm, yes. This is one of the things that I really, really like about FreeBSD: *every* startup setting is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and you never touch that, but everything you've changed is in /etc/rc.conf. It saves a tremendous amount of fiddling with obscure files in /etc. Would the same approach be useful in MediaWiki?
