Hello, ... perharpsIi don't understand very well what you need, but .. I think you should better follow the normal use of the Category spacename This spacename is natural in MW, like Template or Help, and no need to redeclare it. It comes with some naturally specific behaviors. And you can so use some extensions like <categorytree>. Sure it seems more "dirty" because you have in a second time to "chain" those category (a new little bit of work !) pages to construct the good tree = put "[[Category:String functions|xx]]" in each yours "SB:String()" pages + and forget to use $wgExtraNamespaces[126] = "SB_Category"; The "|xx" in [[Category:String functions|xx]] should display more ordered list when consulting the Category page, with alphabetics range (A .. B .. C, etc) @+ de jfb "0.02$", hope that helps ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Spikowski" &lt;support(a)allbasic.info&gt; To: &lt;mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 6:02 AM Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Custom Namespace Categories > > List, > > I have setup Mediawiki for the www.AllBasic.Info site and I created custom > name spaces for each Basic language.

I don't completely understand what you're trying to do, but be aware of this syntax: [[Category:My category | {{PAGENAME}}]] This will help your articles (with namespaces) to sort on the article name on category pages. DanB -----Original Message----- If I have a page named "SB:STRING()" and want to assign it to the "SB Category:String Functions" category, everything is grouped under "S" due to the language name space.

Hello, As John Spikowksi, I'd like to create my own namespaces which act as if they were categories, images, medias. (i.e. extend built-in namespaces) For namespace which would acts like Image: I'd like to custom the automatically generated Image:Xyz.gif page, for example Mp3:Myfile.mp3 would display id3 info and a flash player, QBasic:MySourceCode.bas will syntax highlight the file in quick basic. For the QBasic_Category and xyz_Category, they will display and act as categories, but with another namespace numer. The big advantage : - the search and queries (in special page) can be performed on specified namespaces - on wiki with user right access per namespace, I can restrict some images/files to granted user, and let Image: namespace for public visitors. etc... 2008/9/9, John Spikowski &lt;support(a)allbasic.info&gt;fo>: -- Sylvain Machefert Tous aux Balkans ! http://www.tousauxbalkans.net
