Thanks you. Is this some undocumented stuff? is there a 
possibility to edit "templates" as well? for example...
how do i remove the "This page has been visited $1 times"
template from the main-page?

is there some proper documentation you can recommend?

kind regards, j.

You generally should not edit Language.php. Go to Special:Allmessages on
your wiki for a complete list of customizable UI messages; when logged in as
a sysop you can edit them through the wiki interface.

These message pages are pulled into the database at installation time from
Language.php and *override* it, so that's why your changes to Language.php
are not showing up.
