Hi,
I am interested by this.
Yes please, can you put a translation to meta?
I think that portals belong the encyclopaedia's namespace. They exist to
present the whole of a subject with a nice design. That would attract many
contributors who feel lost in a general encyclopedia. Wikispecies ? ;o)
Regards,
Yann

Hi all,
I saw the German Wikipedia create WikiProject's "portals" [1] into the
encyclopaedia's namespace (ns=0).
What do you think about create a new namespace just for those pages
(already 103 on de:) ?
Just last night, I had a discussion about this with a few other people
from the german WP. The idea is to move pseudo-articles like portals,
lists and timelines out of the main namespace. We came up with a
proposal to create at least one new namespace, called "Navigation", or,
alternatively, several called "Portal", "List" and so on. The
proposal
(in german) can be found here:
<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verbesserungsvorschl%C3%A4ge#Mittel
fristig_einen_neuen_Namensraum_NAVIGATION_schaffen.3F>
If you are interresed, I could put a translation of the proposal to the
meta-wiki and maybe move the discussion there - that may however
discurage some people that do not speak english so well.
I'm aware that this is mainly an administrative change - however, I
would like to know what would have to be done to allow a few more features:
* an option to search in that namespace from the search page.
* list all pages in that namespace.
* set a namespace to "noindex" (if this would be a good idea is a
different question - i just want to know how hard it would be)
* Have the skin produce a special color-sceme for that namespace.
Theank you all for your participation, an especially Guillaume for
mentioning this here.

PS: I did not receive any answers to some proposals about categories I
posted here over the last few weeks. Did they even get through?
