Thread:Project:Support desk/An (easy) questions about namespaces and categories

Hello,

we are creating a MediaWiki 1.17.2 and we need to have categories with the same name (e.g. "ToDo") in different parts of the Wiki. For example: "Steve" got a categorie "ToDo", Mike also wants to have a categorie "ToDo" - both will have articles with the same names (e.g. "Homework"), inside these articles will be different text. Normally thats not possible in MediaWiki, so we thought of using namespaces to seperate the categories and articles from each other. But thats the question: How to create categories in different namespaces? We created namespaces but cant assigne categories to be in that namespace...

btw: It would be fine if a search for "Homework" would find both articles...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards, David
