The Category namespace isn't the same thing as the Template or User namespaces either, but by default it's called by the same name from one wiki to the next. So, what makes the meta namespace so special? If the argument is "The contents of the meta namespace differ from one wiki to the next; therefore the name of the meta namespace should also differ", that same argument could apply to all the other namespaces as well. The templates of enwiktionary, for example, differ from the templates of enwiki, but the namespace is called Template: on both. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
