All of these are good ideas, and I believe that if Wikia had infinite resources, they would do this. However - they don't. System messages are:
 * Not edited often
 * Not edited by most users (normally admins, who tend to be more technical than the typical end-user)

and so I don't believe that annotating these messages (especially because this is something that can quickly be figured out by documentation) is too much of a high priority. Most users find out about these messages from the documentation, and so that's the perfect place to tell users how to edit them. Sure; I understand that and think that's reasonable.

Hopefully my comments about design don't come off as "This needs to be changed!!!111!", because that's not what I meant. More so, ''"This would be better if it was done like X, when and if they can get to it." ''

So it was a conversation about ideas, rather than the people behind them (in this case, Wikia. So far I've had very good experiences with Wikia staff and they seem very receptive to and interested in improving their product).

As I said earlier, I already shared feedback with them about this, so this thread wasn't me trying to get their attention. Most of my posts after the initial sharing of the idea were me trying to clarify why it was a good idea, in the face of claims that it wasn't a good idea, or wasn't neccessary.
