==Overview of messages==
{{See|Wikipedia:Software notices}}
The template {{tl|MediaWiki messages}} (shown below) lists a selection of key messages. Not included are
* [[WP:Abusefilter|Edit filter]] warnings, as there are many of these, and they can be found [[Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:Abusefilter-|here]].
* [[Wikipedia:tags|Tags]] added automatically to [[help:edit summary|edit summaries]] by [[wp:edit filter|edit filters]], which are listed at [[Special:Tags]].
* Messages describing Preferences options (<kbd>Mediawiki:Tog-</kbd>) – [{{fullurl:Special:AllMessages|prefix=tog-}} search for these].
* Messages providing [[tooltip]]s (<kbd>Mediawiki:Tooltip-</kbd>) – [{{fullurl:Special:AllMessages|prefix=tooltip-}} search for these].
* Messages relating to [[WP:Cite.php|Cite.php]] are listed and discussed at [[Help talk:Cite errors]].
* [[MediaWiki:Uploadtext]] and related subpages (the subpages transclude pages from <kbd>Wikipedia:</kbd> space) – these are covered at [[Wikipedia talk:Upload]].
* [[CSS]] files, which are described at [[MediaWiki talk:Common.css]].
* [[Wikipedia:Gadget|Gadget]]-related messages – [[Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:Gadget|Gadgets]].
The template {{tl|interface explanation}}, used on <kbd>MediaWiki talk:</kbd> pages (generally those with some discussion), adds pages it is on into [[:Category:MediaWiki messages with interface explanation]].
A complete list of messages is available at [[Special:Allmessages]]. MediaWiki messages serving the software default are called "unmodified" and appear as red links in the Allmessages list, and do not appear in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&prefix=&namespace=8 Prefix-based search] as they don't technically exist as pages. Because [[Special:Allmessages]] displays '''all''' system messages and it's contents (the page is over 1 MB) some users might prefer to view these messages alphabetically:
[{{fullurl:Special:Allpages|from=MediaWiki:%21}} @] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:A|A]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:B|B]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:C|C]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:D|D]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:E|E]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:F|F]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:G|G]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:H|H]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:I|<small> </small>I<small> </small>]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:J|J]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:K|K]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:L|L]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:M|M]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:N|N]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:O|O]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:P|P]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:Q|Q]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:R|R]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:S|S]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:T|T]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:U|U]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:V|V]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:W|W]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:X|X]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:Y|Y]] [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:Z|Z]]
For a list of '''all''' MediaWiki pages, see [[Special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:]], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&ns8=1 search the MediaWiki namespace].
