Hello,

I just realize that the namespace 100 has been defined with the canonical name "Project" (see http://en.vikidia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces). Since "Project" is actually the canonical name of the built-in namespace 4, this could create issues at some point in time. For instance, someone may use {{ns:Project}} instead specifying the id {{ns:4}} (f.i. when copying some template code from another wiki), and it may result in "Project" instead of "Vikidia".

Could anyone change the MediaWiki configuration to have f.i. "VikiProject" as canonical name?

Also, in all discussion namespace names, "talk" should be after the name. This will match "User talk", "Template talk", "Category talk", etc. For example:
  • "Talk Vikidia" should be "Vikidia talk"
  • "Talk Project" should be "VikiProject talk"
  • "Talk Portal" should be "Portal talk"

Can be forwarded to the sysadmins, if there is enough consensus. Southparkfan 22:39, 7 May 2014 (CEST)
