What I understand is wanted:

*The mainpage message to be a UI message instead of a content message.
*But not to use any of the translations provided for it (by mediawiki), since
we only want it to work for Main Pages that actually exist, so we only want
translations that we manually make.

The proposed solution
*Make a new global variable to control which message we use for the 'mainpage'
system message. Since a wiki could change it to some non-existent message with
no automatic translations, it would only work for manual translations as
desired.

This seems ugly in the extreme. What happens if another system message needs to
be special handled like that. I really don't like this solution, it just seems
"wrong".

If we must do something like this, perhaps a new global similar to
$wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg but causes the message to only take manually made
edits to the mediawiki namespace into account when the content language does
not equal the user language - aka if there is no manual made edits in the
mediawiki namespace for the userlanguage, then treated the same as a normal
content language message. (Is that even possible in the current message
system).
