           Summary: Replace {{SITENAME}} with $1 and appropriate call to
                    $wgSiteName
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Internationalization
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: theevilipaddr...@hotmail.de


In the software, some system messages use the magic word {{SITENAME}}, though
in cases of widely used messages, like for example [[MediaWiki:Tagline]] or
[[MediaWiki:Tooltip-search]], it is generally recommended to replace the magic
word locally with the actual sitename because the parsing is quite difficult.

Now I'm wondering, since {{SITENAME}} generally always displays the value of
global $wgSiteName, if it might not be easier to directly give the $wgSiteName
variable to the wfMsg() functions in the software, instead of having to get the
message through the parser, where the call to $wgSiteName will have to happen
anyway. So, for example, a message like "From {{SITENAME}}" would b changed to
"From $1", looking in the software like that (correct me if I'm wrong):
wfMsgExt( 'tagline', 'parse') -> wfMsg('tagline', $wgSiteName).
