[Mediawiki-l] Custom Namespace Categories

[John Spikowski]

I'm trying to keep each Basic language's categories separate. The STRING()
function for ScriptBasic is different for FreeBASIC for example. The idea
behind having one wiki and multiple namespaces is that a user can search
multiple languages and have a common resource in the main namespace.
