--- Comment #25 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> ---
I have a hard time understanding what is going on here? If this was any other
wiki, we would note that their is community consensus, and implement the
change.

The only thing slightly iffy thing here is to be able to let anons create pages
in this namespace - that might require someone taking 10 seconds writing a hook
(Or even better, someone fixing mediawiki so we have proper per-namespace
permissions). However that can easily be done later. the robots thing is
already a config option.

Furthermore, all these various "config" related changes are trivial to change
after the fact if people discover they want something different.

New namespaces get created for other wikis all the time. This has traditionally
been something that has entirely been up to the community to decide for
themselves. I don't understand why enwiki gets treated so differently.

Kind of seems odd this is being written up on mediawiki.org, for something that
is in essence a config change coming out of enwikipedia community. Its not like
there are non-user facing technical hurtles to surmount. There's no new db
schema being proposed or anything like that.
