[Mediawiki-l] Problem or bug with custom namespaces

[Elliott F. Cable]

Yes, that's normal - those pages are not marked with the namespace  
TECHNICALLY, just in the page name. If you're going to have to move  
them manually, best thing you can do is to undo the enabling of the  
custom namespace, and move all the pages to, for example,  
CustomNS1temp: (Special:Prefixindex can be helpful here) then  
activate CustomNS1: as a namespace, then move them into it.
