Making configuration of their wikis easier for operators, and allow them quickly testing modifications, please move various things to the namespace MediaWiki, which are currently not in it: Skin names: (a mapping would do: "Modern:Nieuwe mode; Monobook:Enkel Book; ..." in a single message) Namespagenames: (a mapping would do again in a single message) Alternate namespacenames (a mapping would do, it could even be in 1 message with normal names: "Talk:Oeverleg:Dikutie:Gesprek; User:Bruker:Bruiker:Broeker:Meidoger; ..." or "0::Aartikel; 1:Oeverleg:Dikutie; 2:Bruker: ...") Local names for special pages $linktrail File names or links for images, like the logo, the "redirect" icon, the "piece" icon before the Monobook user menue, the icons over the edit window, the "powered by" icon, etc. (They should be able to be uploaded, and protected) there may be more candidates. Thanks

Changing Namespaces requires running namespaceDupes and should not be done via the UI. This needs to remain a LocalSettings change. I dunno about the other two ideas (linktrail and redirect logo, etc.).
Most of this (including special page names and namespace aliases) can be localized using http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:AdvancedTranslate tool. Well many other things are specified in the Template: namespace which spun off from MediaWiki: namespace long time ago. Toolbar icons are in the MediaWiki namespace, please see http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/EditPage.php?view=markup&pathrev=82734#l2282 for their names.
