[Mediawiki-l] Custom Namespace Categories

[Sylvain Machefert]

Hello,

As John Spikowksi, I'd like to create my own namespaces which act as if they
were categories, images, medias. (i.e. extend built-in namespaces)

For namespace which would acts like Image: I'd like to custom the
automatically generated Image:Xyz.gif page, for example Mp3:Myfile.mp3 would
display id3 info and a flash player, QBasic:MySourceCode.bas will syntax
highlight the file in quick basic.
For the QBasic_Category and xyz_Category, they will display and act as
categories, but with another namespace numer.

The big advantage :
- the search and queries (in special page) can be performed on specified
namespaces
- on wiki with user right access per namespace, I can restrict some
images/files to granted user, and let Image: namespace for public visitors.
etc...
