Hello. I have 3 separate questions:
1. I was wondering how to add more namespaces to MediaWiki.
See
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Custom_namespaces
2. I saw on a website that somebody added links below
the search box. I was
wondering how to do that.
Various people have done this, so searching
meta.wikimedia.org and
Googling with "site:mail.wikipedia.org" may turn up something helpful.
My own quick glance at the FAQ
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ) got me to
http://www.dankohn.com/archives/000338.html - about adding a Google
Adsense panel at that point, but might be adaptable to your needs...
3. I am programming a script that modifies the
database directly every so
often (like wikipedia's sandbot).
Not that this answers your question, but I think that bot just uses
the web interface like a normal user, using the python bot framework
from
