Hi, Flow has a new namespace: Topic. It has an even namespace number by default: 2600.
Talk pages till now have had odd numbers, and some scripts relied on that. For example, a project to analyze usage of Hebrew online used this, um, feature to identify whether the page being analyzed is in a content namespace or a talking namespace. I'd argue that it's wrong to do it in the first place, because pages like Village Pump are in an even-numbered namespace, and their content is closer to talk pages than to content pages. Also, a program that wants to handle Flow posts will probably need APIs and queries that are different from those that are needed for handling old-style wiki pages in any case. But still, I'll ask to be on the safe side: Does anybody know how prevalent that is? Is anybody else familiar with scripts, gadgets or extensions that rely on this? (No, this is not an April fools joke. Really, it isn't. Yes, I admit that it sounds a lot like xkcd 1172. And like WP:BEANS. But no, it's not an April fools joke.) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
