Were you able to resolve this problem? I get the <Something> as well.

Basically, the "<Something>" means "I can't find the page called MediaWiki:Something which you've referred to". The "mem caching function" you're seeing is probably the function to fetch this from the database.
To summarise once again, the "something" refers not to the literal text "something" but to "whatever the page MediaWiki:Something currently contains". It's *supposed* to make reconfiguring *easier*, because changes can be made by any user with "sysop" status through the normal wiki interface.
I may, of course, be wrong, in which case I apologise, but it seems many people have reawl trouble getting the hang of this.
