* Should extension writers be cautioned about relying on messages in core?
* Perhaps instead they should define their own messages and use the
{{same}} template in Qqq to point out the same message is in core.
I'd say this is already covered by
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation#Avoid_message_reuse>: even
core shouldn't reuse a core message for different uses. The big
exception is «"{{int:<key>}}"» literal quotation in another message.
For instance, core reused "createaccount" for the top right link, when
it was the title for a special page. This led to very weird results e.g.
in Italian.
