This list should be updated two to three times every year. The next update is planned after the release of MediaWiki 1.12.
This list is very useful for translators as it optimises their effort in the early stages of translating the interface: they will have the most benefit if they translate these messages from top to bottom. At the bottom of the list are messages that are not that often used, but important for a proper look and feel for all users: create account, sign on, page history, delete page, move page, protect page, watchlist.
STATUS: 490 entries in list and active (list in SVN). Update pending (May 2008)
