Description:
In the messages files we have some duplicate messages
being:

'login' => 'Log in',
'nav-login-createaccount' => 'Log in / create account',
'userlogin' => 'Log in / create account',
'userloginnocreate' => 'Log in',

It is possible that one pair of these could be removed. I do not know what files use them and where.

Not so fast, these messages could be different in other locales, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:MaxSem/21997 for example (click on language codes).

Yes that is possible. I have created this bug should it be necessary to remove duplicate messages, and if it is possible to.

Looks like in some locales the messages a different. So it is not something that can be changed.

We should not use the same message in different places imho. (For example in the heading and on a button)

Duplication in L10n is a good thing. Not a bug/won't fix is the correct resolution.
