The list is designed to be conveniently translatable to all the languages in which people can use MediaWiki. It is not supposed to be an exhaustive glossary of all MediaWiki terms, but only of those that are the most necessary for all languages, and in particular, for starting up the adaptation of MediaWiki to a new language by translating the Most important messages (also known as "Most used").

Liste oyo esengeli elimbolama na ba lokota nionso, bakisa mpe oyo MediaWiki esi ezali na terminologie oyo esili kofandisama malamu.

It includes both terms that have particular meaning in MediaWiki, such as "category" and "template", and general computer terms, such as "file" and "upload". See the "More information about this glossary" page for an explanation about that.
