Rowan,
Thanks, this just clarified something which I was when writing a new
special page, the same kind of localization/indirection through
messages happens for special pages also. The <blah blah>
reminded me of how Special:SpecialPages was displaying my new special
page at one point. I'd fixed it by using the global $wgMessageCache
and the addMessages() method, a trick I'd picked up by reading the
BoardVote extension. Your answer to this other question made me
realize that adding a page in the mediawiki namespace for the name of
my special page would work as well. I just expanded my earlier article
on meta.
