Hello, Can we have a [[Wikipedia:Preferences]] page that will be the header of the [[Special:Preferences]] page ? (like [[Wikipedia:RecentChanges]] and [[Special:RecentChanges]]). In fact it may be very cool if all [[Special:xxx]] started with an include of [[Wikipedia:xxx]]. It may be very useful especially for localize (no-english Wikipedia) specification to add explication and links. How?
Localizing is still possible, although the process is slower, by changing the LanguageXx.php file; the text you are writing about for example can be found in the "prefslogintext". In fact, Danish, English, Dutch and Polish have already taken the step of adding a link to a page explaining the various options there.
