The system's modes of address can be edited here: Special:AllMessages.
A couple of useful ones are the following ones:

- Mediawiki:Sidebar > to edit the menu on the top
- MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg > welcome message to new users that just registered
- MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedatby > Page info text, last editor of page ("last edited by")

Trick! You can add "?uselang=qqx" to the url of a page to view the system message names.
