Peter Blaise responds: Thanks  Alexis, for verifying the problem, but
nothing in my MediaWiki: 1.10.0 MonoBook.php corresponds to your
suggestion of what and where I might find a tweakable spot.  I'm stuck.

Peter Blaise responds: Uh ... thanks, Brion ... but ... by what method
would I "put", as in:
"put http://our-wiki-url/mediawiki/index.php?
title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=1 
into MediaWiki:Ourwiki-url"?

Do you mean "edit messages.inc" ... and any other configuration master
files?

Stuck again.
