Manual talk:Interface

inner names of the MediaWiki outer parts
Peter Blaise says: Does anyone know of or can we make this http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface include a "names of parts" page, making it easy to find the control for any MediaWiki screen element I'm staring right at! And when we do have something on screen with an apparent name displayed, it seems to be controlled by something under another name, such as, "discussion" is really "talk" and:


 * - on-screen "navigation"
 * ... = MediaWiki:Sidebar
 * ... = http://your_wiki's_URL/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar

And so on. Please help find the inner names of the MediaWiki outer parts, such as:


 * - on-screen "search [__________] [Go] [Search]" area
 * ... = (synonym?)
 * ... = place for a wiki admin to edit/control it


 * - on-screen "toolbox" area
 * ... = (synonym?)
 * ... = place for a wiki admin to edit/control it

Because I want to CONTROL those on-screen MediaWiki elements, and I can't find any reference to what that are called. As, as exampled above, the name on screen is not used in any support documentation I can search at MediaWiki.org. So, c'mon folks, if you know or can find it, please share links at MediaWiki.org or create it and then share links! Thanks!
