Description Dr Brains 2014-10-11 13:43:41 UTC 
It would be good to find a way to provide namespace restrictions ([[mw:Manual:$wgNamespaceProtection]]) with "meta=siteinfo" module, 

* in a new "siprop" parameter 

* or in already existent "siprop=namespaces" module.

Please provide a usecase because I cannot guess why "it would be good". Thanks!
Comment 2 Dr Brains 2014-10-17 22:21:37 UTC 
User scripts or gadget could need this information to know if a user can or cannot edit a page depending on its namespace. 

I think to LiveRC gadget, for example ([[fr:Wikipédia:LiveRC/Sources]]).

It is as probably as reavelant as "case" or "subpages" attributes already provided with "meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces"
