The check part needs to happen on every edit anyway because it needs to fetch the ID for the name. update.php would work too as long as things blow up clearly when someone didn't run update.php recently enough. That could also allow us to let the extension suggest an ID, so the registrar would only have to assign a "random" ID in case of a conflict. > > Does the registry idea work all that smoothly for namespaces, though? > > I don't think it was ever really tried for namespace.
