I want to have a namespace which has an ampersand in it e.g. "Me&You".
I've followed the directions for $wgExtraNamespaces which ask to use $amp; for &,
and everything goes okay except - a new page doesnt get recorded in the new namespace,
when I check the database, so defeating the purpose (it gets a namespace of 0, the main
space).
I can get this to work if I use just the & as it is, but the main
"article" tab comes messed up. It shows this:
"<nstab-Me&You>"
instead of "article"
I can get rid of the ampersand and gain 2 more letters to make the namespace a little
longer but I want the ampersand if possible. I've tried different combinations for
other unicode characters too on a test wiki with the same result. I guess there's no
current fix for this, right and I'd probably have to get rid of the ampersand? If you
want to try it yourself, try:
$wgExtraNamespaces = array(120 => "Me1&You", 121=>
"Me1&You_Talk", 122 => "Me2&You", 123=>
"Me2&You_Talk" );
And then add an article in each namespace and check the database, or the
Special:Allpages which will show only one namespace's article, and thats the one for
which the "article" tab is messed during display.
thanks
Eric
