What is the safest way to remove a custom namespace after all its articles

the old namespace number, and I don't know if this will cause problems or
not.
Hi Dan,
I've been tinkering with changing namespaces lately, changing the numerical
index for an existing namespace for avoiding conflict with namespaces used
by certain extensions
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_namespace_registration ). I found
the namespace implementation quite robust and haven't encountered any
problems yet after the changes.
AFAIK the only place in the database where references to the namespace of a
given page are stored is the respective field in the "page" table which you
might even change directly.
