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

found here:

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.
