[Mediawiki-i18n] Trying to locate messages in various places - which order?

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
As far as I understand it, for an anonymous user the message is first the
language of the Wiki, then the fall back language for that language and then
English. When a user has set a preference, it is this language then a
potential fall back language and then English.

You always get a message, whether or not you get the message.
Thanks,
     GerardM
