Hello. I have 3 separate questions:
- I was wondering how to add more namespaces to MediaWiki.
See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Custom_namespaces
- I saw on a website that somebody added links below the search box. I was
wondering how to do that.
Various people have done this, so searching meta.wikimedia.org and Googling with "site:mail.wikipedia.org" may turn up something helpful. My own quick glance at the FAQ (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ) got me to http://www.dankohn.com/archives/000338.html - about adding a Google Adsense panel at that point, but might be adaptable to your needs...
- I am programming a script that modifies the database directly every so
often (like wikipedia's sandbot).
Not that this answers your question, but I think that bot just uses the web interface like a normal user, using the python bot framework from http://pywikipediabot.sf.net
