Hi Dan, I've been tinkering with changing namespaces lately, changing the numerical index for an existing namespace for avoiding conflict with namespaces used by certain extensions (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_namespace_registration ). I found the namespace implementation quite robust and haven't encountered any problems yet after the changes. AFAIK the only place in the database where references to the namespace of a given page are stored is the respective field in the "page" table which you might even change directly. hth Frank -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Removing-a-custom-namespace--tp30762329p30765856.html Sent from the WikiMedia General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
