Hi Tom, You shouldn't have any problem in using a period in the namespace name. If you're making a constant for the namespace name, you can't reference a constant with a period on its name, but the constant could be anything (eg. NS_FOO11), as it isn't ever shown to the end user. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
