The ideabehind having one wiki and multiple namespaces is that a user can search multiple languages and have a common resource in the main namespace.
Hi John, I understand for a particular namespace for each language, because of the variant between thus But the use of the Category Namespace is different : not to automatically show all the pages existing but to build **ONE/YOUR** category tree (with childs and parents for each level = you can put several [[Category:Category(n)]] on each page) for your whole site (and undistincly his whole namespaces) with the pages YOU decide to "tag", each page with one or several[[Category:TheCategoryThisPageBelongs]].
So the visitor can 1°)crawl though the pages themselves, or 2°) through the great and unique Category tree, with branches and subbranches for each purpose. So this tree will contain an alternative way of dysplaying the info = what you decide and how you decide ... a first branch for the administration tools, with a child branch for the template of the site, another great branch for langages, and somes child for each bunch of specific langage pages.
See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_administration You'll see inthere : the subcategories (child), the page of the category, the parent (click on the bottom link of that page <Contents>) and you can have Replace the tree for administration tools with what you need for making your language pages easier to navigate by the visitor and keep in mind you must "tag" every page that should take place in the Category tree

I'm trying to keep each Basic language's categories separate. The STRING() function for ScriptBasic is different for FreeBASIC for example. The idea behind having one wiki and multiple namespaces is that a user can search multiple languages and have a common resource in the main namespace.

Hello, ... perharpsIi don't understand very well what you need, but .. I think you should better follow the normal use of the Category spacename This spacename is natural in MW, like Template or Help, and no need to redeclare it. It comes with some naturally specific behaviors. And you can so use some extensions like <categorytree>. Sure it seems more "dirty" because you have in a second time to "chain" those category (a new little bit of work !) pages to construct the good tree
= put "[[Category:String functions|xx]]" in each yours "SB:String()" pages
- and forget to use $wgExtraNamespaces[126] = "SB_Category";
The "|xx" in [[Category:String functions|xx]] should display more ordered list when consulting the Category page, with alphabetics range (A .. B .. C, etc)

List,
I have setup Mediawiki for the www.AllBasic.Info site and I
created custom
name spaces for each Basic language. I'm having a problem
defining or
understanding how to create categories specific to each
language name
space.
This is what I have defined so far.
## ProvideX $wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "PX"; $wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "PX_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 100;
## FreeBasic $wgExtraNamespaces[102] = "FB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[103] = "FB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 102;
## Gambas $wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "GB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[105] = "GB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 104;
## Visual Basic $wgExtraNamespaces[106] = "VB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[107] = "VB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 106;
## PureBasic $wgExtraNamespaces[108] = "PB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[109] = "PB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 108;
## REALbasic $wgExtraNamespaces[110] = "RB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[111] = "RB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 110;
## ScriptBasic $wgExtraNamespaces[112] = "SB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[113] = "SB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 112;
## thinBASIC $wgExtraNamespaces[114] = "TB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[115] = "TB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 114;
## HotBasic $wgExtraNamespaces[116] = "HB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[117] = "HB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 116;
## EBasic $wgExtraNamespaces[118] = "EB"; $wgExtraNamespaces[119] = "EB_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 118;
## Category Namespaces $wgExtraNamespaces[120] = "PX_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[121] = "FB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[122] = "GB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[123] = "VB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[124] = "PB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[125] = "RB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[126] = "SB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[127] = "TB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[128] = "HB_Category"; $wgExtraNamespaces[129] = "EB_Category";
If I have a page named "SB:STRING()" and want to assign it
to the "SB
Category:String Functions" category, everything is grouped
under "S" due
to the language name space.
I searched till for hours trying to find the solution to
this and nothing.
If anyone could shed some light on using categories that
are unique to
name spaces, I would be very grateful. My wiki project is on
hold till this
gets resolved.
Thanks !
John
