Without them we cannot show a customized message properly (maybe you
can treat it as a MediaWiki bug?).

Here's a test:

1. Have a look at Special:PrefixIndex: [1].
2. Check the following pages: [2] (zh-cn falls back to zh-hans) [3]
(zh-tw falls back to zh-hant).
3. So without /zh-cn subpage, the customized message in /zh-hans
cannot be shown to zh-cn users.
