Editing and deleting a namespace
Editing a namespace: A namespace can be edited by clicking on the "wrench" icon in the table row or above the table when a namespace is selected.
Names of talk namespaces or of system namespaces (File, MediaWiki) cannot be changed.
Deleting a namespace: Only custom (user created) namespaces can be deleted.
After clicking on the delete icon, a dialog with the delete options appears.
- Will be deleted: deletes the pages in this namespace together with the namespace
- Will be moved into "(Pages)": moves the pages of this namespace into the main namespace
- Will be moved into "(Pages)" with the suffix "(from [namespace name])": moves and appends the pages with "from [namespace]"
Talk namespaces are deleted with their corresponding namespace and cannot be deleted separately.
