Summary: Let bots use canonical namespaces
Initial Comment:
Let bots use canonical namespaces instead of translations from the family files. This is
useful for crosswiki bots, where invalid namespace names may not be detected by the
operator (most recently [1][2]).
The attached patch implements this by adding an optional constructor argument to Page. For
example, the current behaviour is unchanged:
ns = wikipedia.Page(site, title).namespaceName() # Utilisateur:Pathoschild
But a constructor argument enables canonical namespaces:
ns = wikipedia.Page(site, title, translateNamespace=False).namespaceName() #
User:Pathoschild
