Wikimedia Iberocoop (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iberocoop) needs a namespace in Meta, to publish relevant information about our activities. Our main goal is to increase transparency with the Wikimedia community through Meta. Thanks
None of the other chapters have this..
(In reply to comment #1) > None of the other chapters have this.. It's not for a chapter, it's for a group of chapters. We already had two annual encounters financed by the Foundation: one in Buenos Aires and another in Santiago de Chile, gathering almost thirty members representing 12 chapters. Please refer to Meta for more information in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iberocoop The idea is to publish information about Iberocoop in Meta instead of http://www.iberocoop.org/, which will increase the publicity of our decisions to the community.
Is there a local consensus on meta. you should have a namespace instead to use subpages?

This can't go ahead without support from Meta, so yes.
(In reply to comment #5) > This can't go ahead without support from Meta, so yes. Where's the place to ask for this? I couldn't find it on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_and_proposals#For_Meta
You could ask on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum

Isn't category enough?
(In reply to comment #9) > Isn't category enough? We're already using a category, but using a namespace will be much more effective for arranging information from Iberocoop. We want to avoid sub-pages scattered all over Meta without a common criteria.
This discussion doesn't belong to the bug tracker, as it's not a technical one, but a community one. Please explain all these elements at the following URL: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Babel
I've made the request in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Babel#Namespace_for_Iberocoop_in_Meta
After two weeks of discussion, there's a consensus on Meta:Babel, see URL (only one user mildly against): adding shell keyword and requesting to go on. Please ask at [[m:WM:RFH]] to have your pages imported from your wiki after the namespace is enabled. I can do this for you, otherwise I suggest to ask one of the NWI <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AGlobalUsers&username=&group=New_wikis_importer&limit=500> who are used at editing XML dumps etc.
Pages from old Iberocoop wiki won't be moved, mostly because of privacy issues. But we will create new pages for open discussions in Meta. As far as I can see, the namespace is not available yet, can you create it?
Yes, I'm going to prepare the config change. Taking this bug.

Verified, namespaces are there. Test procedure: Checked through API - https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces|namespacealiases
