namespaces in family file - Pywikipedia-l

2 Jul 2008

I was just making a fresh install, to see if that would solve my problem
with the bots not running successfully.

I saw that in the family file there is the following (using the example from
Appropedia):

         self.namespaces[4] = {
             '_default': u'Appropedia', #Specify the project namespace
here.
Other
         }                               #namespaces will be set to
MediaWiki default.

         self.namespaces[5] = {
             '_default': u'Appropedia talk',

I'm trying to get a deeper understanding here - what is the purpose of this?
In our case we have 2 custom namespaces, so I assume I need to add these
here as well:

         self.namespaces[100] = {
             '_default': u'Portal',

         self.namespaces[101] = {
             '_default': u'Portal talk',

         self.namespaces[102] = {
             '_default': u'Original', #Specify the project namespace
here.
Other
         }                               #namespaces will be set to
MediaWiki default.

         self.namespaces[103] = {
             '_default': u'Original talk',

Thanks,
Chris

deliberation and suspense, which can alone secure them from the grossest
absurdities. -- David Hume
