Currently 'simple' is classified by MediaWiki as a 'dummy language'. A dummy
language is defined as a language code that doesn't have a corresponding set of
translated system messages and never will (usually because it is deprecated and
now mapped to another language code, for example, bat-smg -> sgs). It doesn't
make sense to use a dummy language as a content language since it will never
actually affect the content or interface (CentralNotice not withstanding). The
two possible solutions are:

1. Make 'simple' (or 'en-simple') a fully supported language code in MediaWiki
(like de-formal or nl-informal) and switch simple.wikipedia to use it. This
means that 'simple' will get its own translated system messages as well.

2. Remove 'simple' (and hopefully the 7 other dummy languages) from the
CentralNotice interface and switch simple.wiktionary and simple.wikiquote to
use 'en'.
