That should be [[MediaWiki:Ok]]. Have you tried editing it?

[[MediaWiki:Ok]] is used at the new special page, but e.g. on deWP it is renamed
to "Suche" (Search). A new message especially for ExpandTemplates would be great.

Ah. I assume "ok" is meant to be something generic like "yes" or "good", not
something more specific like "search", but reasonable enough point: some
localizations might want more specific messages. In that case, you want
[[MediaWiki:Ok]] to be removed entirely and replaced with use-specific messages.

Yes - [[MediaWiki:Ok]] (as well as [[MediaWiki:Go]] and [[MediaWiki:Search]]) are
being reused quite often. Each use should be replaced by an idividual message, since
they cannot safely be assumed to share a translations in most languages / contexts.

I replaced message 'ok' with 'expand_template_ok' in r16275.
