I am setting up a mediawiki to use for 2 main purposes:
1. a wikipedia on a specialized topic (in community sustainable development) 2. a forum for public consultations, where information will be posted and the public given a chance to provide feedback and hold discussions
Looking at how wikipedia.org is set up, I am wondering if I should hold the wikipedia in the blank namespace and the public consultations in the "portal" namespace? Or will uneducated users forget to include the "portal:" when creating new internal links in the consultations area, so I should put both 1 and 2 in the blank namespace? Or should I create a new namespace, like "casestudy"?
Never having set up a wiki before, I'm just don't have an intuition on how these decisions will turn out once many people are using the wiki, and I suspect it could be very hard to change later.
Many thanks, Levi
