There are people running and installing MediaWiki who do not (or almost not)
speak or understand English, at least one is known to me personally.
Apparently, the installer is i18n-ed to allow people to run it without having
to read or understand English.

There are large populations on earth, wo do not understand English at all, who
do not even have a grasp of the Latin script.

While all those people will likely be able to replace a default entry which
does not make sense to them, it is always kind of impolite to present something
foreign in a localized page without compelling technical reason.

We do have MediaWiki;config-ns-other-default and MediaWiki:config-ns-generic
for "it has akways been so" type of defaults, why not this one, too?
