In the new software, would something like [[User talk archive 1:maveric149]] be counted as an article when the statistics are run, or does the stats look for and exclude any article with the string "talk" in it?
Only the specifically recognized namespace prefixes are treated as namespaces; anything else is just a regular article with a colon in the title. 0

This sounds dangerous to me, as people might inadvertantly "pollute" the namespace name space?

The alternative would be to forbid ":" in all articles except for the namespace usage, like it is now.
