Assuming the advice I gave earlier was correct, and I'm not sure it is, in light of Brion's comments; you could set $wgMetaNamespace in LocalSettings.php.

It won't be there unless it's been added before. As I say, I doubt it *will* work, given what Brion said, but there you go.

Hi Rob,

I'm not seeing a "$wgMetaNamespace" in LocalSettings.php

Is it in <root> or /skins?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "you could use the project namespace and rename it to "Project" using the $wgMetaNamespace directive in LocalSettings.php."

Thanks

"Project" is an internal name for the project or meta namespace, which is converted to the canonical namespace name. I suppose, to avoid this, you could use the project namespace and rename it to "Project" using the $wgMetaNamespace directive in LocalSettings.php.

I would like to create a preface "Project:" for projects on our site, but I notice that mediawiki automatically renames them "PESWiki:"

How do I disable this?

Thanks
