 * See Help:welcome tool for a start. Note a lot of system generated messages are at - MediaWiki:xyz were xyz is the page name for the message. So for welcome messages there are several MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user and MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon . Note you need to be an admin on the wiki to edit them and they can effect 1000's of pages on large wikis.


 * See also special:allmessages on the relavent wiki for local wiki system and interface messages. Remember these effect the interface for all users on the wiki, so take care changing them as IP's and logged in Users can get different messages. When I first started editing I broke most of the old left side memu (as still seen on wikipedia and most other Media Wiki installations) trying to customise it. Wikia has made the new Wikia top & bottom menus easier to customise from Admin desktop widgets.
