[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5175343, member: 46559"] Late to the party as usual... What do we get from a custom namespace? I mean, what's the difference between creating a custom namespace called ADV for adventures and just having a convention that pages relating to adventures are named with something like ADV:My_Adventure_Name? I'm in favor of moving the pages named L4W:PC:whatever to be named PC:whatever, especially if someone is willing to do the donkey work. I'm not sure I see the point of imposing a structure on the rest of the pages, especially if it involves work. I mean, I see the point that the L4W prefix is redundant now, and next time I go to create a new page I'll name it without the prefix. And next time I work on an existing page with the prefix, I'll probably try to use the move function to remove the prefix. Unless someone automates the process and takes away the L4W prefix from all pages, of course. That would be fine. One other thing: I suggest we avoid using L4W as a meaningful name for a while, just in case any pages get missed, or someone doesn't get the memo and makes a new page using the old rules. That would get very confusing. If we need a collective name for admin pages, just use Admin or Tracking or Meta or something like that. [/QUOTE]
