Hoi, How many Wikipedias exist .... 280+ ... The English Wikipedia may be the biggest and baddest but you cannot infer from this that its message is the same message in use everywhere.
When you want to change a default message, the message is localised for general consumption on translatewiki.net. When local policy means that the message needs a further adaptation it is done on the local Wiki.
I think there was a miscommunication. I said "the closest equivalent to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MediaWiki_messages for each wiki"
In other words, on es, it might be http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project:Mensajes_de_Mediawiki or whatever the case is in reality.
I completely agree every wiki should be notified, and do their own adaptation if needed. I wasn't saying en should have any special treatment, just using it as a familiar example.
