Category talk:Archived Talk

I don't know if anybody else is paying attention, but Rednaxela brought up the idea of using a separate namespace for Archived Talk (on Talk:Migration), and I think it's a really good idea. I want to read up on Mediawiki namespaces a bit more before digging in and doing it, but I just wanted to note here that this is in the plans... --Voidious 15:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm paying. I want it. This little piece of code put in LocalSettings.php will do:

// Custom namespace
define ("NS_ARCHIVED", 100);
define ("NS_ARCHIVED_TALK", 101);
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_ARCHIVED]      = "Archived";
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_ARCHIVED_TALK] = "Archived_talk";

At least it do on my MediaWiki/1.14 installation at Thai RoboWiki. This will create the Archived and Archived_talk: namespaces. » Nat | Talk » 16:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I kind of wonder what would hapepen if you omit the NS_ARCHIVE lines and leave the NS_ARCHIVED_TALK lines. Being an odd ID should still signify to it that it's a 'discussion' namespace, but not having NS_ARCHIVED might usefully do something? Or maybe that would just break it. I don't know.
