WMF [1]: 'wgNamespacesWithSubpages' => array( 'default' => array( NS_TALK => true, NS_USER => true, NS_USER_TALK => true, NS_PROJECT_TALK => true, NS_IMAGE_TALK => true, NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => true, NS_TEMPLATE => true, NS_TEMPLATE_TALK => true, NS_HELP => true, NS_HELP_TALK => true, NS_CATEGORY_TALK => true, MediaWiki core [2]: $wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array( NS_TALK => true, NS_USER => true, NS_USER_TALK => true, NS_PROJECT_TALK => true, NS_FILE_TALK => true, NS_MEDIAWIKI => true, NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => true, NS_TEMPLATE_TALK => true, NS_HELP_TALK => true, NS_CATEGORY_TALK => true ); Which means adding: - NS_MEDIAWIKI - NS_TEMPLATE - NS_HELP Adding stuff to the latter two could be problematic since they could be used in several ways by wikis, but NS_MEDIAWIKI is the one I'm mainly requesting be added. Adding that one means it is possible to move a message in the MediaWiki: namespace including the translation subpages. Both on MW.org and on commons I found myself in the tedious task having to move them one by one. Afaik uncontroversial change since the usage of the MediaWiki namespace is pretty much fixed. The other two, I'm not sure whether they should be carelessly added.

That whole section needs/wants cleaning up
Yeah, for most wikis it is currently overriding it instead of extending it. And would also be nice of most of those could use the NS_ constants for readability.
removing target milestone of 1.20wmf1, 1.20wmf2 has been deployed already
(In reply to comment #2) > Yeah, for most wikis it is currently overriding it instead of extending it. Let's see if the patch for bug 29692 works.
