That worked perfectly and saved this amateur volunteer admin a lot of time. Thanks so much.
You should have your own holiday.

It looks like you have a stray entry in your database labeled as being in namespace 1000... generateSitemap.php is picking it up because it dumps the whole database, but since you don't have it defined in the custom namespaces array, it doesn't show up in your general lists.
Try running maintenance/cleanupTitles.php to renormalize the namespace/title pairs in your page table; that should fix up the stray entry.

Hi everyone,
Our site uses w/maintenance/generateSitemap.php. An error from Google Webmaster Tools revealed that generateSitemap is including a sitemap of a namespace that doesn't exist.
Specifically, included in the Sitemap Indexhttp://www.tmswiki.org/sitemap/sitemap-index-ptpn_wiki.xmlis a sitemap corresponding to namespace 1000: http://www.tmswiki.org/sitemap/sitemap-ptpn_wiki-NS_1000-0.xml.gz
However, we don't have a namespace 1000:
http://www.tmswiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=n...
The text of the broken sitemap is simply:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/:Guidelines</loc> <lastmod>2011-12-12T00:25:28Z</lastmod> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> </urlset>
When Google tries to read http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/:Guidelines from
the
above sitemap, it 404s, something I try to avoid, wanting to keep the
ship
running smoothly.
Any idea how I could figure out what is going on? I went back and checked the date stamp on generateSitemap to confirm that I hadn't edited it in a fit of stupidity (no). The string 1000 doesn't appear either in generateSitemap.php or localsettings.php
Not sure where to go from here.
Any ideas?
