MediaWiki talk:Aboutsite

What is the point of this page?
The page only contains the coding: "About Wikipedia," and that is all. Maybe I am missing something, but what purpose is this page serving? Dustin ( talk ) 22:20, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * This is the text for the "About Wikipedia" link at the bottom of site. If you go to the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII?uselang=qqx, you'll see "(aboutsite)" at the bottom where "About Wikipedia" usually appears. See the page mw:Help:System message for more information about system messages and "the qqx trick".
 * If it will be " About ", it will work just the same functionally, but may make the site slower. At least that's how it used to be in the past. Maybe the slowness has been fixed; if it was fixed, then this message can be simply deleted. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 18:53, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Tim Starling, is this still relevant for performance? --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:25, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is still relevant. -- Tim Starling (talk) 22:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, I should have just looked more closely at the tag at the top of the page; there is documentation at mw:Manual:Interface/Aboutsite. Dustin  ( talk ) 00:37, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
