[Mediawiki-i18n] Assigning tags to extension messages

[S Page]

I added a section "Messages that should not be translated" to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation#Message_documentation , with
this information, plus the standard comments people appened to En, the
{{optional}} in Qqq, the system messageTypes.inc file, etc.

These are my observations of the conventions in use, so fix any mistakes!
