You should not edit core scripts (please revert them), just place your changes 
in your local/config.php file, or in your local/ServerReboot.php file. For 
example, in ServerReboot.php:

<?php
 $NotifySubjectFmt = 'Server Reboot Request';
 $NotifyBodyFmt = "To view the request please visit: \$NotifyItems\n";

The configuration file pmwiki/local/ServerReboot.php will be called by PmWiki 
when a visitor opens a page in the ServerReboot group. Only, here you use 
  $SomeVariable = 'Some value';
  instead of SDV($SomeVariable, 'Some value');

You add local/AnotherGroup.php file where you place your different settings 
for this group. (All settings that are repeatedly the same, will go in 
local/config.php.) See http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PerGroupCustomizations 
about the "<groupname>.php" configuration.
