Change Details

I suggested in the meetings to just override them (at least for major wikis) to make the change we want while preserving existing functionality E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Watchlist-details customizes it, but it might be okay to change the actual message text while preserving the watchlist notice. However, when I made that suggestion, I thought the old core text was closer to the override. Actually, the old core text was "{{PLURAL:$1|$1 page|$1 pages}} on your watchlist, not separately counting talk pages." We should handle this here (or decide not to). All overrides of the headers are listed at P5999.
