Having a table about bug 2453 "[[Special:Allmessages]] should provide
information about the type of the MediaWiki message" eaven if this table is
available temporarily at [[meta:]] there would be easy to correct the part of
the releted messages using wikitext:

example for de:
a) replace "[[Spezial:foo]]" with "[[Special:foo]]", "[[Hilfe:foo]]" with
"[[Help:foo]]"

at (german) [[MediaWiki:Anontalkpagetext]]
"... Wenn Sie ein anonymer Benutzer sind und denken, dass irrelevante

Kommentare an Sie gerichtet wurden, [[Spezial:Userlogin|melden Sie sich bitte
an]], um zukünftige Verwirrung zu vermeiden. ''"
b) replace "{{localurle:Spezial:bar}" with "{{localurle:Special:Watchlist}" etc.

some versions of (german) [[MediaWiki:Mailnologintext]] using (X)HTML
"Sie müssen <a href="{{localurle:Spezial:Userlogin}}">angemeldet sein</a> und

eine gültige E-Mail-Adresse haben, um anderen Benutzern E-Mail zu schicken."

Note: A *general* replacement does not make sense. I suppose that (german)
[[MediaWiki:Nstab-special]] "Spezial" should not be replaced.

Note: I noticed at Nuka-Wiki that in some MediaWiki messages (I have to
investigate at which) generic names of the namespaces are *translated* anyway.
If you use there the word "Help" as simple text directly or trough some (nested)
templates it gets translated to "{{ns:Help}}". This might be a bug or can be
used as feature. As I said this is *not* valid at all Special pages or
[[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]].

Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

They do use generic namespaces.

Please file specific, targetted bugs for any you find that aren't set
correctly.
