I have 1.7.1 running with a fairly generic

I tried following the instructions at:

But my test portal page never develops like it should.
Do I need to enable a portal namespace? (if so how)
Does it need subpages enabled? (again how)
Assuming no other custom namespaces...
$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Portal";
$wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "Portal_talk";
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[100] = true;
...placed in LocalSettings.php should do it. You'll need to run
maintenance/namespaceDupes.php to update the database so the existing
pages are moved from article space to the Portal namespace.
