Hi

I have solved this problem.For this you just create 2 new pages with names
[[MediaWiki:anyname]] [[MediaWiki:anyname-url]]
Remember same entries should be added in LocalSettings.php file I mean with the name anyname and anyname-url.
Now click MediaWiki:anyname link and it will ask to create a page.In Edit box write what u want to display in navigation menu.
Now click MediaWiki:anyname-url link and it will ask to create a page.In Edit box write what u want to display on top of page.
Now ur new menu is ready.

-Cheers

Basically, the "<Something>" means "I can't find the page called
MediaWiki:Something which you've referred to". The "mem caching
function" you're seeing is probably the function to fetch this from
the database.

To summarise once again, the "something" refers not to the literal
text "something" but to "whatever the page MediaWiki:Something
currently contains". It's *supposed* to make reconfiguring *easier*,
because changes can be made by any user with "sysop" status through
the normal wiki interface.

I may, of course, be wrong, in which case I apologise, but it seems
many people have reawl trouble getting the hang of this.
