Why are the following messages needed separately...

• MediaWiki:Monday-at
• MediaWiki:Tuesday-at
• MediaWiki:Wednesday-at
• MediaWiki:Thursday-at
• MediaWiki:Friday-at
• MediaWiki:Saturday-at
• MediaWiki:Sunday-at

when we already have...

• MediaWiki:Monday
• MediaWiki:Tuesday
• MediaWiki:Wednesday
• MediaWiki:Thursday
• MediaWiki:Friday
• MediaWiki:Saturday
• MediaWiki:Sunday

Can't we just have one message which says "$1 at $2" where $1 could be any of the daynames?

And if the form of the word differs in some languages for these uses, would it be possible to allow use of the day names from the latter in the former for languages where the difference isn't there? It'd help in maintaining a standard terminology.

Thanks.

The duplication here is minimal and the benefit of allowing proper translation in many languages outweighs it.

Ok. But would it be possible to add an optional parameter for languages which don't need the different messages, so that its easy to maintain standardization of daynames? Thanks.

No.

Just to be clear, is this a No for technical/technological reasons? Or is it something else?

Yes.
