Hello!

Can you add namespaces dropdown menu while creating page?

Not sure that we should complicate the interface. This extension is for very new editors. They won't really know what "namespace" is (in 99% cases, they want to create an article in Main namespace), and this dropdown menu may confuse them.

But would be great if the site developer could set this as a preset. The user experience would be the same, but the dev could set the initial namespace so it doesnt *HAVE* to be (Main)

Question: would the following approach be convenient (if implemented)? "If user is visiting Special:CreatePage/Template, then a page would be created in Template: namespace instead of main namespace".

This can be used in links like [[Special:CreatePage/Category|Click here to create a new category]].
