As I stated, what I advised was a very light modification with no real threat. I didn't say "go modify the core to your heart's content". There is no "mess" to be made which is why I advised in the first place.

If you hadn't noticed, many things are hardcoded into MediaWiki making customization even harder. If you can't differentiate which necessary risks must be taken and which should be avoided, and keep blindly sticking to the rules, then good luck with the kittens.
