Which bit of them?
The text used in the interfaces can be edited in the same manner as
any other text; via the MediaWiki namespace. See the
Special:Allmessages page on your wiki for a list of customisable
interface text. If you've changed the LanguageXX.php (or
MessagesXX.php, in 1.6alpha) files, run the rebuildMessages.php
command-line maintenance script to repopulate the database.
The actual behaviour of the special pages is controlled by code in the
includes/SpecialXXX.php files. If you want to change this, you will
have to hack those.

Thanks, that answered a couple of my questions, not
sure how I missed it.
However, I didn't see any mention of editing special pages. Am I missing
something obvious? Again, my question was:
1. Is it possible to edit special pages? It looks like the text for
special pages is stored in the database and is non-editable binary data,
and that these database fields are populated from the file
./languages/Language.php, but changing the text in this file has no
effect--is this data just imported to the database when the Wiki is first
set up? Is there any way to pull in new changes from this file?

Hi, I'm somewhat of a n00b to MediaWiki
administration and have a couple
questions. Apologies if these have been answered before, but I checked
the list archives and web and haven't been able to find clear answers.
I believe your questions are answered in the FAQ:
