re: word order
Snip
Even it looks awkward and unsophisticated, for assuring better internationalization, it would have better to put the whole wikified message into one sole MediaWiki message, since the grammatical word order, say, syntax, is widely varied among different natural languages.
Indeed. Patchwork messages[1] are highly discouraged in software localisation, and in these types of text probably even more so. Every time it is used, at least one sad kitten dies[2].
