If you want to introduce a new namespace (or namespace
alias), you *do*
have to move all pages whose title begins with the new namespace name
followed by a colon, or else they will become inaccessible. For the
reasons, please see my reply on the technical list.
I've already sent a (politely dissenting) reply to the tech list. :-)
