Namespace numbers differ between import-ready XML and destination wiki; will it actually work?

Hello again. Now that my ByetHost experiment from last October has officially vanished in recent weeks (for lack of funds), I have had no choice but to start over on Miraheze. (Still panging over the fall of Referata since last September--although I'll still ping Mr. Koren on the matter.)

About an hour ago, the namespace system on the just-launched Miraheze version of my creative-venture wiki began anew with specs for "Documentation", assigned the number of 3000. On the old ByetHost site, I had namespace-allocation trouble that began with "Documentation", set as "050", falling back to "40"--and that's what I ended up with in the backup. Towards the end of our short-lived trial, I managed to fix things up under the intended "50"--but the damage had been done, lessons were learned, and the experiment faded away some time afterward.

Before I resume my import campaign, will the old doc pages still work with the new number regardless? As per usual, I am ensuring nothing goes wrong before I can move on with the rest of my setup.
