This set of pages were produced in the process of partitioning
translation file for my bot. While I dealt only with Wikinews, it was
reasonable to keep them inside of one page [1], including messages
like "Images", "Administrators", "Good [pages]" etc. are.

However, the rest of messages for statistics (including, of course,
Zachte's statistics) may be maintained at the similar way -- until all
of them would be moved to Betawiki (or some similar project).
