Sorry, but I'm not going to consider the infinite number of third party use cases in this bug.

MediaWiki is open source precisely so that if someone wants to put a new MediaWiki message somewhere, they can build it for themselves. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
