2.Yep! You can change that at MediaWiki:Chat-welcome-message.

I'm not sure what you mean by custom messages, though. (Wikia butchered the formatting in your quote, so I tried to fix it. Anyway...)

1. I have already tried using MediaWiki:Emoticons, but it just comes up with a blank space. It does remove the text, though, so that's the first half.

2. Thanks! I didn't know that existed on the wiki. But how would I make it so the message would display the user's name?

Also, by "custom messages" I mean that, lets say you join and nobody else is there for five or more minutes. This message appears in chat.

"There doesn't seem to be anybody here... how about inviting somebody?"

Something like that.
