http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/Me... 'specialpages-group-*' Is already used to specify i18n for the header of a group. I just didn't want to end up colliding a group name and a specialpage name.

Ya, it's repetitive... Maybe even a little ugly since none of the messages are ever set and so don't display as defaults on the MediaWiki: pages... But when you consider it's purpose, I suppose it's ok. The idea was just an override, albet a little ugly, meant to let someone over somewhere like Wikipedia organize the special pages for us. Once they did that, we could import that back into the $wgSpecialPageGroups. And if all goes well, hopefully we can remove that non-feature before 1.13 is released. IMHO, it's not a necessary thing to have, nor a useful feature. Just a method of outsourcing our special page issues to someone with more organizational skills than technical skills.

Allow use of a mediawiki message to '''override''' the group used to group a special page. Form is specialpages-specialpagegroup-$specialpage

Isn't that a bit repetitive? :)

Maybe something a little shorter like "specialpages-group-$name"...
