Good day to everybody,

I started participating in Wikipedias only 5 weeks ago and lately I decided to get involved into translation Language.php -> LanguagePl.php (ie. Polish). I've already got rough translation. Of course many problems have arisen. Two of them are pointed out beneath. As I studied the code of the whole Wikipedia for only few hours I'm not aware of many things.

On English Wikipedia, both images and sound files (what else in future?) are loaded using SpecialUpload.php and appear on 'Special:Imagelist' (both!) As far as I understand the code (cf. files convertdb.php, OutputPage.php as well) there is no threat of confusion while using 'media' namespace for other purposes. Did I understand the code right? Any plans taking into account this namespace? Can we use 'media' as a namespace name FOR BOTH IMAGE AND SOUND FILES on Polish Wikipedia without any harm to the DB?

Another issue is the purpose of the namespace 'Wikipedia_talk'. I've discovered only one page on English Wiki, sth about bugs of Phase II software. Are there any other pages in this ns? (of course plain Search does not help in finding those pages). What is the future of this ns? Any clues would help in proper translation to Polish.

Thanks in advance for any replies (User:)Youandme
