Hi,

Is there some effective way to retrieve a list of namespaces for a wiki? In huggle we have that hardcoded now, but that kind of suck, because every wiki can have some custom NS.

Example: https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/blob/master/huggle/wikipage.hpp

//! Namespaces
enum MediaWikiNS
{
    MediaWikiNS_Main,
    MediaWikiNS_Talk,
    MediaWikiNS_Project,
    MediaWikiNS_ProjectTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_User,
    MediaWikiNS_UserTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_Help,
    MediaWikiNS_HelpTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_Category,
    MediaWikiNS_CategoryTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_Mediawiki,
    MediaWikiNS_MediawikiTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_File,
    MediaWikiNS_FileTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_Portal,
    MediaWikiNS_PortalTalk,
    MediaWikiNS_Special
};

Is there a way to retrieve:

• Namespace original name (the english one which can be used on any

language wiki, like User or Talk) and its talk id

• Namespace localized name and its talk id (User talk for User)
• Namespace ID

for every namespace that is known by a wiki?
