Description Sorawee Porncharoenwase 2014-07-16 15:47:03 UTC
Per a discussion at https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/วิกิพีเดีย:ศาลาชุมชน/อภิปราย/ตั้งค่าเนมสเปซเพิ่มเติม we would like to change some namespace settings:

- make "WP" an alias of Wikipedia namespace (วิกิพีเดีย, NS:4)
- make "Wikipedia" an alias of Wikipedia namespace as well -- For this one I know that there will be a conflict with interwiki prefix table ("Wikipedia" is set to en.wikipedia.org). However, if it is possible to override the interwiki prefix, we would appreciate it a lot.
- make "H" an alias of help namespace

Also, currently pages with the prefix "WP:" are in main namespace. After the settings are changed, will these pages be changed to Wikipedia namespace automatically. In case they will not, how can we rename them?

Thank you

I believe it is better to move them manually to the วิกิพีเดีย namespace before the change gets merged.

There don't seem to be any pages left in https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/WP: anymore, so I believe this can be safely merged now.

Comment 5 Sorawee Porncharoenwase 2014-07-18 04:04:51 UTC
@Vogone: Yep, I used my bot to move those pages from "WP:" to "วิกิพีเดีย:".

I forgot to move pages with prefix "H:" to "Help:", though, and that makes "H:IL", "H:ILL", "H:IW", "H:L" remains on main namespace[1], unable to access anymore. It is completely my fault. I'm so sorry. Now I just want to know what should I do next to delete these pages from main namespace?

Reedy might help you.
Comment 7 Sorawee Porncharoenwase 2014-07-19 16:34:48 UTC
I found that I can use API to delete those pages.
