hello I have 2 namespaces in LocalSettings.php, a number of users, and associations of users with groups, and then permissions for groups access to namespaces (with syswikiop user...)
I have edited pages in the 2 namespaces and would like to change the name of one of the namespaces.
Do i have to sql the database directly or is there another way?
1) Change the setting in LocalSettings.php
2) Optionally, add the old names to $wgNamespaceAliases in LocalSettings.php
3) Run maintenance/namespaceDupes.php, and pass options as necessary if the report indicates that resolution is required.
