There are a couple of things to note with that (which I'll fix in a
moment, but for anyone reading here)...

# Don't ever edit DefaultSettings.php.  Copy the contents of whatever
you want to change to LocalSettings.php and change it there, otherwise
you'll have problems when you upgrade (in this case it's an array, so
you should be able to append to it using '+', IIRC).
# You should never need to edit Language.php or LanguageXX.php.
Creating the messages under the MediaWIki: namespace (e.g.
[[MediaWiki:Foo-url]]) works fine, and again won't break when you
upgrade and overwrite the language file.

Kate.
