[MediaWiki-l] Re: Extra Namespaces | Conflict Management

I'm assuming this concerns the wiki on http://tunearch.org. This is a solution I came up with after a little bit of testing, there may be easier or more elegant ones. 1) Create a new, temporary namespace within the recommended custom range, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces#Creating_a_cu… . 2) Move pages in the biography namespace to the temporary one with the moveBatch maintenance script. First make a list of the pages to move by copying from https://tunearch.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=202 and adding the syntax for moving: ... Save to a file, e.g. move.txt and then run the script: > maintenance/run moveBatch move.txt Check the parameters if you want something extra, like no redirects. 3) Change the defintion of the biography namespace to use the new number: > define("NS_BIOGRAPHY", 3000); and remove the temporary namespace. 4) Repeat with Biography_talk and any other namspaces you want to move. That should do it. I did a bit of (small scale) tesing on a local wiki, so I'm fairly confident this will work, but as always be careful and start by testing on just a few pages so nothing goes wrong.
