If someone could point me to what the additions would be in LocalSettings.php, that'd be great. Was this page not helpful? Or perhaps you didn't find it yet _http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Custom_namespaces_ (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Custom_namespaces)

Finally, if I've created a discussion namespace for a novel and I want to add a discussion link after one particular entry on an alphabetical listing page, what is the syntax for this?

Thanks. Tim Create a template with the following content and name it "Template:Discuss" (or "Template:YourTemplateName")

[[{{NAMESPACE}}_talk:{{PAGENAME}}| Discuss]]

Any where you want a link to a discussion page related to a main page, just use {{discuss}} to call the template content. This will perform the same as the "Discussion" tab at the top of pages; it will print "Discuss" (or whatever you put after the pipe) and create link to that page's talk page.

If you want to link page A to page B's discussion page, that would be a different matter. A simple wikilink on page A to page B's talk page would work: [[Page_B:talk|Discuss]].

If you want to expedite adding links to the page B discussion page, you could make a template page named, for example, "Template:DiscussB." Put the [[Page_B:talk|Discuss]] wikilink on the page "Temlate:DiscussB" and call it anywhere on your site with {{DiscussB}}.
