Alright, I realize this has been discussed before but the last person who asked the question wasn't answered on the list and it is exactly this answer that I need.
What I am trying to do is change the Community Portal link to point to another page (WikiRPG:Design Deciscions). Looking at the suggestion in digest 12 issue 3 I tried editing
xhtml_slim.pt
Specifically I changed the following line: <li id="n-portal" tal:condition="nav_urls/portal/href"><a href="${nav_urls/portal/href}" i18n:translate="string:portal">Community Portal</a></li>
Just to see if I was doing the right thing the first thing i tried was just changing the link name. However, this didn't work and nothing changed on my site (I waited awhile and reloaded).
Am I modifying the wrong thing? Do I need to run one of the maintenence scripts? Unfortunatly i simply can't find *any* documentation on the maintence scripts or whatever.

As a secondary suggestions it seems that MediaWiki would really benefit from a wiki describing these configuration issues. If I do get an answer to this question and want to put it in a wiki would the meta.wikimedia.org help pages be appropriate or is this information too technical. Or am I missing some really obvious help site?

You can put in whatever you want for the URL and it will take effect right away. To change the text you have to modify it via your
<your url here>MediaWiki:All_system_messages
page. Here is the page that is usually given as reference for this question:

Specifically, modify the page "MediaWiki:Portal" to read "Design Decisions", and (so long as you make sure to clear your cache) the link should change.

That page is obsolete and no longer created as of 1.3.3: it was very slow and unreliable. Instead, use the wiki's [[Special:Allmessages]]. It's the same thing, but it's faster and it actually works when things like the base URL are changed.
