== FAQ Namespace ==

Where would one petition to have a FAQ namespace added? There are many articles where discussions are endlessly repeated, and calls for merges, deletions, or era changes, etc are repeated by newcomers. A few of the Talk pages I've seen recently have mentioned the desire to have a FAQ page where results of major-change discussions, or results of discussions of questions frequently asked can be placed for easy reference without having to rehash a long discussion all over again on the Talk page. Is there a place at WP where a request for a new namespace could be placed? Many thanks. — [[User:Imeriki al-Shimoni|al-Shimoni]] ([[User talk:Imeriki al-Shimoni|talk]]) 07:51, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== Request for comment: Page move nomination ==

Due to the fact that this page is a how to guide, It should be moved to Help:Namespaces with a redirect. -- [[User:PythonSwarm|PythonSwarm]] [[User talk:PythonSwarm|Talk]] | [[Special:Contribs/PythonSwarm|Contribs]] | [[Special:CentralAuth/PythonSwarm|Global]] 01:10, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|PythonSwarm}}, this is '''almost''' a [[WP:RM|requested move]] discussion. [[User:I dream of horses|I dream of horses]] [[Special:Contribs/I dream of horses|(Contribs)]] Please [[WP:NOTIFY|notify]] me after replying off my [[User talk:I dream of horses|talk page.]] Thank you. 02:34, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
=== Discussion ===
*'''Opposed''' really only seeing infomation here rather then how to do something.--[[User_talk:Moxy|Moxy]] 🍁 03:04, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' (Called forth by bot) This is not a help page, it does fine in the Wikipedia namespace. We try to keep only the most relevant things in the help namespace so that our experienced hands can easily find things by searching something like "WP:NAMESPACE". I wouldn't think to search "Help:Namespace", because help pages are not really built for our experienced hands, and I don't think this page is meant as a starter guide.

*'''opposed''' This page is more than a help page. It fits this namespace well. [[User:Philoserf|—¿philoserf?]] ([[User talk:Philoserf|talk]]) 22:48, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. This page is more about the guidelines we have established for the use of namespaces on Wikipedia, than about how namespaces work within our software. --[[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] ([[User talk:Bsherr|talk]]) 04:02, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
*'''Support''', this is almost entirely a help page, and I believe these should ideally placed in the Help namespace. Almost all of it is about the technical aspects of namespaces, and there is very little policy discussion or commentary. --[[User:Mrjulesd|--Jules]] [[User talk:Mrjulesd|(Mrjulesd)]] 20:59, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

== Semi-protected edit request on 21 August 2024 ==

{{edit semi-protected|Wikipedia:Namespace|answered=yes}}
Please change the Wikimedia Outreach reference: from <code><nowiki>[https://outreach.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/January_2018/Education_Extension_scheduled_shutdown Education_Extension_scheduled_shutdown, Wikimedia outreach]</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/January_2018/Education_Extension_scheduled_shutdown "Education Extension scheduled shutdown"], Wikimedia Outreach</nowiki></code>; this removes the [[:Help:Mobile access|mobile site prefix]] that isn't optimised for desktop usage (and if browsing on a mobile, it should be automatically changed anyway), and it also doesn't display underscores in the link. [[Special:Contributions/83.28.217.24|83.28.217.24]] ([[User talk:83.28.217.24|talk]]) 09:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
:It would be better to use <code><nowiki>[[outreach:Education/News/January 2018/Education Extension scheduled shutdown|Education Extension scheduled shutdown]]</nowiki></code> which yields [[outreach:Education/News/January 2018/Education Extension scheduled shutdown|Education Extension scheduled shutdown]]. --[[User:Redrose64|Redrose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 16:49, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

== Alias "cat:" ==

Commons already supports it, e.g., [[:c:cat:SVG numbers]] redirects to [[:c:Category:SVG numbers]] -- why not on English Wikipedia, too? [[Wikipedia_talk:Namespace/Archive_1#Integrate_pseudo-namespace_into_alias-namespace|Previous discussion]] alluded to "pollution" and the use of colon character in article titles. But the actual problem would be articles starting with "cat:", which currently are only some "pseudo-namespaces" (cross-space redirects) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/CAT:] .
