Here's a link which roughly describes the
procedure, which I can testify works.
In order to make the new link work properly, you need also to alter the
language-file, (and add it to the "monobook.js" from within the wiki
(specialmessages) for the hover message).

Same procedure can be used to remove items from the navigation menu.
There are a couple of things to note with that (which I'll fix in a
moment, but for anyone reading here)...
# Don't ever edit DefaultSettings.php. Copy the contents of whatever
you want to change to LocalSettings.php and change it there, otherwise
you'll have problems when you upgrade (in this case it's an array, so
you should be able to append to it using '+', IIRC).
# You should never need to edit Language.php or LanguageXX.php.
Creating the messages under the MediaWIki: namespace (e.g.
[[MediaWiki:Foo-url]]) works fine, and again won't break when you
upgrade and overwrite the language file.
