[Mediawiki-l] mediawiki 1.5: so difficult?

[NM]

Jamie, thank you for your answer. Of course I'm running mediawiki 1.5 (I
wrote this in the subject of the mail), and - of course - I've read the help
page. But this didn't help me, remember that wiki help pages change, and for
example, now there is no advice for how to change subtitles.

I understand that mediawiki has a very different logic - for example - from
a CMS but, may I tell that I'm surprised to how counterintuitive is to make
simple changes in navigation links or other elementary parameters like
title, subtitle and header of page?

I'm doing this work in order to validate (for the Education Italian
Ministry) this Wiki as a pedagogical tool for Italian students, but if
neither I (knowing English and technologically trained) can understand how
to use it, how non-expert people could?

For example, now I have re-installed everything, and I have a default
LocalSettings.php but:
1) the title is: "WIKIPEDIA", and not: "LESWIKI" as I want
2) the subtitle is: "L'Enciclopedia libera", but what I want:
"L'enciclopedia mia"
3) under the title of every single page there is: "Da Wikipedia,
l'enciclopedia libera", that I want to change in: "Da Leswiki,
l'enciclopedia mia"

How many changes I've I to do to achieve what I want?

Thank you again, N.
