[edit] Details
The variable holds an array indicating which namespaces allow sub-pages. The array is indexed by the numeric namespace ID, and each array value is either 0 (no sub-pages) or 1 (sub-pages allowed).
See Help:Subpages
[edit] Default value
The default is to enable subpages, but not within the 'main' namespace. They are enabled only within talk pages and user pages.
Note: Enabling on all 'talk' pages actually requires many entries in this array; one for each talk namespace. Each version of MediaWiki only went as far as the maximum namespace existing at the time.
[edit] 1.5.0 and above
array( NS_TALK => true, NS_USER => true, NS_USER_TALK => true, NS_PROJECT_TALK => true, NS_IMAGE_TALK => true, NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => true, NS_TEMPLATE_TALK => true, NS_HELP_TALK => true, NS_CATEGORY_TALK => true );
[edit] Prior to 1.5.0
The NS_ constants weren't used (possibly because they weren't defined) so numeric values were used instead:
array( -1 => 0, 0 => 0, 1 => 1, 2 => 1, 3 => 1, 4 => 0, 5 => 1, 6 => 0, 7 => 1, 8 => 0, 9 => 1, 10 => 0, 11 => 1)
Namespaces numbers can go from -1 (The "Special:" namespace). Subpages cannot be enabled on namespace -2 (direct-linked media)
[edit] Enabling for a namespace
The normal way to enable subpages for a given namespace is to edit the LocalSettings.php and insert the following:
# Enable subpages in the main namespace $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true;
This adds an item (a 'true' value) to the $wgNamespacesWithSubpages array which is already defined in defaultSettings.php
[edit] Enabling for all namespaces
# Enable subpages in all namespaces $wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array_fill(0, 200, true);
This assumes you have no more than 200 namespaces.
[edit] Namespace names
The names for namespaces are set in files such as those listed in m:Locales for the Wikimedia projects, with default m:Language.php:
/* private */ $wgNamespaceNamesEn = array( NS_MEDIA => 'Media', NS_SPECIAL => 'Special', NS_MAIN => '', NS_TALK => 'Talk', NS_USER => 'User', NS_USER_TALK => 'User_talk', NS_WIKIPEDIA => $wgMetaNamespace, NS_WIKIPEDIA_TALK => $wgMetaNamespace . '_talk', NS_IMAGE => 'Image', NS_IMAGE_TALK => 'Image_talk', NS_MEDIAWIKI => 'MediaWiki', NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => 'MediaWiki_talk', NS_TEMPLATE => 'Template', NS_TEMPLATE_TALK => 'Template_talk', NS_HELP => 'Help', NS_HELP_TALK => 'Help_talk', NS_CATEGORY => 'Category', NS_CATEGORY_TALK => 'Category_talk' );
