I'm assuming this concerns the wiki on http://tunearch.org. This is a solution I came up with after a little bit of testing, there may be easier or more elegant ones.

1) Create a new, temporary namespace within the recommended custom range, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces#Creating_a_cus... .

define("NS_TMP", 3000); $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_TMP] = "Tmp";

2) Move pages in the biography namespace to the temporary one with the moveBatch maintenance script. First make a list of the pages to move by copying from https://tunearch.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=202 and adding the syntax for moving:

Biography:A.A. Gray|Tmp:A.A. Gray Biography:A.S. Bowman|Tmp:A.S. Bowman Biography:Abraham MacIntosh|Tmp:Abraham MacIntosh

...

Save to a file, e.g. move.txt and then run the script:

maintenance/run moveBatch move.txt

Check the parameters if you want something extra, like no redirects. 3) Change the defintion of the biography namespace to use the new number:

define("NS_BIOGRAPHY", 3000);

and remove the temporary namespace. 4) Repeat with Biography_talk and any other namspaces you want to move.

That should do it. I did a bit of (small scale) tesing on a local wiki, so I'm fairly confident this will work, but as always be careful and start by testing on just a few pages so nothing goes wrong.

Hi, I made a big mistake. I defined a custom namespace in conflict with SocialProfile < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SocialProfile%3E extension:

# # # # # # # # # # # # # EXTRA NAMESPACES # # # # # # # # # # # #

###### BIOGRAPHY ###### define("NS_BIOGRAPHY", 202); define("NS_BIOGRAPHY_TALK", 203);

$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_BIOGRAPHY] = "Biography"; $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_BIOGRAPHY_TALK] = "Biography_talk";

202 User_profile: NS_USER_PROFILE 203 User_profile_talk: NS_USER_PROFILE_TALK Since r93317 < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/93317%3E. What can I do to correct this conflict other than uninstall the Social Profile

Thanks so much.
