MEDIAWIKI NOTES
1) Only the forward slash is interpreted (when enabled) as an indicator of "sub-page". Thus, only the forward slash and ~ are considered here to be part of the hierarchical functionality. 2) The allowed characters in a title are defined in "DefaultSettings.php". NOTE that #{}[]| are not part of this list. 3) Special command characters for preg_match do not include the following:    Those were tested with preg_quote

4) Be careful not to choose namespace name identifiers too long as the standard limit in Mediawiki is 16characters long.
