Micru's Associated namespaces RfC is up for
discussion this week.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2014-04-23
(We also have room for 1 more RfC to discuss.)
Micru said about
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Associated_namespaces :
The intended outcome would be:
1) find out if there is any objection against the "Namespace registry and
association handlers" that Mark proposed
2) discuss possible problems with this approach
3) see if there would be any hands available to work on it; it is a
delicate topic that might need someone with a deep understanding of MediaWiki
Micru also noted that we've had a previous suggestion for a namespace
manager
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Namespace_manager .
AFIK, it never materialized because back then
there was not such a great
need as there is now - or at least the current use cases didn't exist back
then.
I hope this RFC moves forward because it affects important upcoming and
already deployed projects (Commons migration, templates, Visual editor, WD,
etc).
