We would automatically mass move all the pages with galleries to the gallery namespace. Deletion could also be done automatically.
I understand what you want to do, but what benefit you expect from such a change.
I would expect to see a substantial decrease in junk page creation. I would expect this for two reasons: #The easiest and most attractive location (namespace zero) for junk page creation could be closed to new page creation. #Confusion about the gallery namespace would be removed if it had an explicit name.
Of course, these gains might be possible in other ways... For example, if we shut off non-talk page creation by anons I would expect similar gains, although many of the junk pages are created by named accounts.
