Description Oliver Keyes 2012-05-02 14:31:59 UTC 
The filtering offers "page" as a possible namespace. We mean "article", right? :)
Comment 1 Brandon Harris 2012-05-02 14:58:41 UTC 
We do not mean article.  We actually probably mean "main" namespace.  We should not be using "article" in the software.
Comment 2 Oliver Keyes 2012-05-02 15:02:21 UTC 
Why not?
Comment 3 Brandon Harris 2012-05-02 15:05:10 UTC 
Because Wikis do not have "articles". They have "pages."

Wikipedias have "articles".  And we can change the words to reflect that. . . later.  For now, the software is "wiki-centric" rather than "wikipedia-centric."
Comment 4 Oliver Keyes 2012-05-02 15:06:38 UTC 
That makes sense :)
Comment 5 Ryan Kaldari 2012-05-02 17:47:43 UTC 
The correct solution here is actually to use the 'blanknamespace' message. This message is set to '(Main)' by default, but is overridden on Wikipedia to be '(Article)'.

Fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,6418.
