Hi there
There seems to be a problem with custom namespaces and the SpecialAllpages.php (tested: mediawiki 1.4rc1). Custom namespaces will not show up in the selectbox.
This problem seems not to be reported on bugzilla, but it can also be found on: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespace
Under the section "custom namespaces": Special:Allpages does not show custom namespaces (this seems to be a bug), but the URLs work, e.g. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&namespace=1...
Here's the patch for a working dropdown list: # Patch for SpecialAllpages.php to show custom namespaces. # By Joel Wiesmann aka tr0nix - www.secuserv.ch 38a39
40,41c41,43 < for ( $i = 0; $i < 14; $i++ ) { < $namespacename = str_replace ( "_", " ", $arr[$i] ); ---
foreach( $arr as $i => $name ) { $namespacename = str_replace ( "_", " ", $name );
usage: patch -i <patchfile> ./includes/SpecialAllpages.php
Hope this helps and gets accepted :). For me it works fine! Unfortunately I'm not very familliar with CVS, so this is _maybe_ already fixed.
