102
This wiki uses ns 102 for "Extension:". Any likely conflict with standard SMW's "Property:"? Robin Patterson 13:07, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Sites using different numbers for the same extension
Do Wikia sites using 302 etc, in place of standard SMW's 102 etc, have any likely consequent problems? Robin Patterson 13:12, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Reservation of numbers for site-specific namespaces 500 - 599
There is a note: "Site-specific custom namespaces are generally assigned in the 100 to 199 range. I would recommend staying out of this range for anything to be defined by an extension."

These numbers are however used by Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki Extensions. It would indeed be very useful to have numbers reserved for site-specific namespaces. According to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_namespace_registration numbers from 500-599 are still free. Would'nt it be a good idea to really reserve this range for site-specific custom namespaces?
