Directly in code, see FAQ.
 * The first change you propose is ok, though you may need to check if there's enough space to quote the error.
 * The second I think you misinterpreted: it's just bad English meaning "treated like links to local pages". From a practical perspective and from the original goal of the feature, i.e. a network of wikis which are interlinked like a single wiki, that's not so incorrect. Though of course there are differences, like the HTTP code returned (301 is not an error though) and the colour.

 * 1) Non-local interwiki
 * 1) Local interwiki
 * 1) Local redirect

Can you submit a patch? :)
