I have two question I can't solve by myself (I tried to search on google and mediawiki pages)
- How can I change the default page from Wikipedia?
I'm not sure what you mean by this - is the string "Wikipedia" appearing somewhere in the interface? If so, find the appropriate message(s) using [[Special:Allmessages]], and edit it/them to use "{{SITENAME}}" instead (or customise them however you like).
If that's not what you mean, you'll have to describe your problem more fully.
- How can I change the default menu's links?
I'm guessing you're referring to the "sidebar" menu on every page here - in which case the answer is: * for MediaWiki 1.3.x, you can change *some* of the links through the MediaWiki namespace (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:MediaWiki namespace), e.g. by editting [[MediaWiki:Currentevents]] and [[MediaWiki:Currentevents-url]], you can change the text and target, respectively, of the link normally called (in English) "Current Events". Use [[Special:Allmessages]] to find these.
* for MediaWiki 1.4.x (in beta), there is an array, something like $wgNavigationLinks I think, that you can copy from includes/DefaultSettings.php into your LocalSettings.php, where you can specify your own pairs of messages (as in [[MediaWiki:foo]], [[MediaWiki:Foo-url]]).
This should really be in the FAQ, but I'm too in need of a screen-break to type it up nicely this minute...
