Description Liangent 2011-07-14 08:28:12 UTC 
The appearance is that sidebar shows some default links but not those defined in MediaWiki:Sidebar on zhwiki (note that there're maybe complex fallback chain in zh language).

This issue has been talked about some time ago in IRC but I cannot find the discussion now.
Comment 1 Jan Luca 2011-07-14 21:08:40 UTC 
When I compare "Mediawiki:Sidebar" with the sidebar on zhwiki I don't see any difference.
Comment 2 Liangent 2011-07-20 08:17:41 UTC 
I would say it's unstable. Sometimes this problem appears (not very often) and disappears soon.
Comment 3 Niklas Laxström 2011-09-12 11:20:01 UTC 
This problem appears from time to time. Purging MediaWiki:sidebar page fixes it.
Comment 4 Pavel Selitskas [wizardist] 2012-01-06 21:21:56 UTC 
I don't know if my further comment is relevant to the issue, but it looks like it is.

In be-x-old.wikipedia.org ($wgLanguageCode = 'be-tarask'), if I set my UI language 'be-x-old', then overriden messages in MediaWiki spacename are not used. If I set UI language back to 'be-tarask', then it's OK.

I think a language mapping check should be performed. If the active language is mapped to another one and that language is the base language ($wgLanguageCode), then it should use MediaWiki: overrides, not the default messages.

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of a bug number around or below 10k
