Hello,
we have a problem on bg.wikipedia. Our MediaWiki namespace pages aren't used for system messages anymore. The pages are still there, of course, but it's as if someone had turned off message substitution.
... Who broke it?

Please point to a specific instance of the problem so that it can be confirmed and checked.
Best to include: a) a particular URL to a particular page b) a *very specific* sample a message which is displaying incorrectly. (cut and paste the expected and actual values, describe where it is on screen, and list the message name so it can be checked against the page and default values).
Also check for caching and user-specific problems.

The obvious place:
http://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages
Actual result:
No rows appear pink, columns 2 and 3 (default text, current text) are completely identical.
Expected result:
Some rows appear pink, columns 2 and 3 are not completely identical.
Specific sample:
http://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload
displays some ugly messages from the language file, where it should look like:

Did you try editing any of the messages to force it to update the message cache?

I did now; it doesn't help. Everybody was discussing it on our IRC channel earlier today, so it's most probably not a dumb user error.
