This was hugely confusing to me also at first. May I suggest that you add a note to that effect to a comment at the top of each of these files? I think that would save a lot of confusion for first-time mediawiki hackers.
When you install a new wiki, the main page looks like this:
Wiki software successfully installed.
Please see [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_i18n documentation on customizing the interface] and the [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide User's Guide] for usage and configuration help.
The linked pages explain how this works. I'd _like_ to hope that most people look at their wiki before they go tinkering in the source code, but perhaps this is too much to hope for. ;)
