Re: Override
Override default namespace names.

I think that, if "default namespace names" are overridden by some other names, the defaults may be disabled. Does it really happen? Mulukhiyya 09:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I have no idea if these replace or are additional names for namespaces. "Alias" does suggest additional, but who knows if the name is accurate. As I noticed in my edit summary I just copied the initial notes from Tim's initial documentation. So best ask someone to experiment and report back, or ask Tim. pfctdayelise 07:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * (Ah, thank you!) So, the sentence above was written by someone else? (Tim?) Anyway, I'll ask other people. Mulukhiyya 12:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I personally haven't experimented for this yet, but Schu said s/he did it. According to Schu, $wgNamespaceAliases works just like the following example:


 * w:WP:Sandbox -> w:Wikipedia:Sandbox
 * w:WP:Canvassing -> w:Wikipedia:Canvassing

There seems that "WP:" is just an additional alternate name for the primary name, "Wikipedia:", and do not replace the primary name. So I think "override" is not fit for this case. Mulukhiyya 12:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
