Hi Brion, thanks a lot, it worked after the patch and I used the simple "&" now. The NS number showed up correctly in the database and the tab was OK too. There's another extension Inputbox, which can be configured to search specific namespaces. It makes a checkbox for a namespace if it finds the namespace exists. When I use NS's with "&" in them, it doesnt show up the checkbox for the NS, indicating it didnt find the namespace. It might be a bug with Inputbox, or could it be a bigger bug? I was going to test this by doing a general search from the default Search options, but since the NS pages are new, the search doesnt turn up anything. How can I find out if its a bug with the Inputbox, or if the Search has bugs for the NS? The inputbox is using this to get the NS names and work on them: $namespaces = $wgContLang->getNamespaces();
Could it be that this function has not been fixed yet for the '&' ? I checked the GlobalFunctions you updated and that wasnt using this function. thanks!

Sorry I made a typo: they asked us to use & for & (not $amp;, which was the typo I made). The directions for using & can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Custom_namespaces So that would be Me&You
That direction is completely and 100% wrong; I have removed it and replaced it with correct directions.
I've tried filling in the name as [[MediaWiki:Nstab-Me&You]], but it
didnt work. In summary again, when defining the namespace in the following way:
Use lowercase as in my followup.
Me&You - it comes out OK everywhere except the database table
(mw_page) puts the namespace number as 0 (and not as 100+ as it should be)
100% wrong.
Me&You: works ok everywhere, except the "article" tab comes out messed
up the N-stab stuff.
See above.
