Seems a simple UPDATE SET *_namespace = New_NS_Number WHERE *_namespace
= Old_NS_Number; for every table and field ending in _namespace
Sadly...I don't feel like I know SQL and the Mediawiki database schema well enough to
take that approach just yet.
If the is a maintinence script that will straighten this out...i would like to know.
Do you recommend that I try the "maintenance/namespaceDupes.php" script and
see?

Hi folks, I'm working on a small MW for my
organizations intranet using the latest version (mw-1.11) and everything works as it
should :-) however, I have made a mess of things regarding the custom namespaces and need
some advice. I have created articles in undefined namespaces and have then created those
namespaces formally in LocalSettings.....then later I restructured the namespace
numbering....
My question is... is there a "maintinence script" that I should run to
synchronize each articles namespace number in the MySQL pages table with the new namespace
numbering created in my localSettings.php file?
thanks!

There's maintenance/namespaceDupes.php but i don't know if it would
handle the pages in inexistent namespaces in the desired way.
