Hi, this does sound stupid but because I am converting
all my individual
websites to use a single set of MediaWiki software, I wonder whether it is
possible to standardize my namespaces. As it is, my chronology namespace,
say, is using namespace 104 in one website and namespace 108 in another. Is
it possible to change them all to say, 104, in order to standardize them?
If you do an XML dump from one wiki and import it to another wiki, you
should end up with all the pages in the correct namespace (104),
automatically.
XML dumps hold the titles in text form and the importer should
interpret them in accordance with local wiki config.
Of course, both namespace names must be *exactly the same*.
As always, please make backups before you try this. Just in case. ;)
