Hello everyone.
I'm a sysop of Japanese Wikipedia. I'm going to delete many MediaWiki namespace pages that have same contents as betawiki. I think this work will make less operation cost.
I hava a question about caching and sever's overload. My colleague said that local wiki's MediaWiki namescape pages may make less overload of it's server, because these messages chaced and default messages are read from files.
If (*if*) I recall correctly, all messages are cached, no matter where (MessagesJp.php or MediaWiki: pages) they come from, so there shouldn't be a difference, other than that MediaWiki: pages each use a tiny amount of space.
