It is the same box as , however there is a pointer to the talk page. Reason: The user should be informed when he tries to edit the page, not only when he goes to the talk page. Thanks, --Church of emacs (Talk) 13:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I suggest to use the same text as on , i.e. change the text "This interface message is documented on its manual page" to "This interface message or skin may be documented on MediaWiki.org or TranslateWiki." Or at least include a link to the qqq. Thank you, SPQRobin (talk) 12:30, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

message: At the moment, I think the text emphasizes the wrong thing in a confusing way. The current bolded title is not the primary message. Instead, what the page is should be emphasized. Therefore, the main part of the text should be changed to:
replies: text: This interface message or skin forms part of the MediaWiki interface. It may be documented on MediaWiki.org or translatewiki.net. It can only be edited by administrators and interface editors; you can submit an edit request by clicking the button below and following the instructions.
(Newline after the bolded section is optional. I don't think we need it, but hey, whatever you think.)

thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: Templates  and  currently link to the page on Meta: interface editors. On Wikipedia, there is a user group interface administrators, which, if I understand correctly, can edit the same pages, which "Global interface editors" can. Should the templates link to one of these or to both? —⁠andrybak (talk) 11:52, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Interface editors is a correct link to meta. Interface administrators might also be correct, but the interface admin group on en is a subset of the administrator group in the context of most MediaWiki pages, so adding them is unnecessary. (Obvious, excepting those which are CSS or JS pages.) --Izno (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
