             Bug #: 33298
           Summary: Option to disable all TALK namespaces
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


On intranet wikis with small teams talk namespaces make no sense.

So they stay unused and are confusing for the users (and intranet wiki users
are not the typical internet users anyway...).

The global setting would disable the namespaces completely, just like you
wouldn't define corresponding talk namespaces to custom namespaces.

* the talk namespaces would disappear on namespace lists in forms like on
search
* related special pages would be disabled
* related links by the system would disappear ("my talk" in user links section,
"talk"-links in "Username (Talk | contribs)"

I'm aware that this requires lots of changes on different places in the core
code, but I think it's worth it.
