Greetings, I have created a new namespace called Project. Now, I'd like to copy all contents including Talk pages from the Main namespace to the new namespace Project. Is it possible, and how if yes? Thanks in advance, Ross

Also, note that [[Project: ]] is already taken in a default mediawiki installation (pointing to the NS with your wiki's name, such as Wikipedia:). I would therefore suggest you choose a different name for your custom namespace.

Why do you want to do that? Moving would be a way easier.
For copying you better dump everything, change all namespaces and reimport.

Thanks to you and Daniel for your replies. Sorry, I gave a wrong example namespace name. The actual new namespace is called MySoft-v2. Platonides may still remember that I would like to have multiple copies/links for MediaWiki for different versions of my software product documentation. Now, I have the new Version 2. My documentation team (including some developer teams and some customers) wants to work on a new namespace for Version 2, but they don't need to rewrite all the docs. Instead, they just need to modify some of the contents. And we still need to keep the old namespace (Main) for users as their user manuals. That is why I need to COPY all of the contents from the Main namespace to the new namespace. Thanks again, Ross
