Help talk:System message

how to "Create new messages"
Front page here says:
 * "... Extensions can (and should) define system messages for any text displayed in the user interface. This assists in the localization of those messages. For an example of how to do this, please see Manual:Special pages..."

... but I can't figure out how to create a new message (as might support Extension:PageNotice, for instance) - are there any examples here on how to create such new mediawiki system messages? thanks peblusto 14:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Can't access System Messages
I can't access the System Messages page. It just doesn't load anything, it gives and empty, blank page. What could be wrong? --Nathanael Bar-Aur L. 02:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I also can't access the System messages page. Is it available from a specific version of Mediawiki? Thanks -Romina Tulisi 14:38, April 23rd 2009
 * Are you running on a shared host with limited memory? Are you getting any "out of memory" style errors? -Jlerner 13:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I am getting blank pages when I go on Special:AllMessages. Is it because I have many extensions installed. Sachein 10:38, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Something like HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. Sachein 10:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * My AllMessages page just clocks and clocks and cloks until it dies. Caqn't access it at all. I have my $wgLanguageCode = "es"; wich is supposed to be "Es", but changing doesn't do anything. The whole wiki crashes. Any other cases around.--Mark 03:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Nothing happens
I changed the MediaWiki:History-feed-title/de to History. The German translation 'Versionsgeschichte' is much to long for my skin.

But nothing happens! The Special:AllMessages page is showing the new entry, but the tab of my customized Vector skin is not showing the new name at all. Do I need to update something?
