Hi Sumana, Thanks for moving the RFC forward! I hope some MW experts can join and provide their very necessary advice! Cheers, Micru

Micru's Associated namespaces RfC is up for discussion this week. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2014-04-23 (We also have room for 1 more RfC to discuss.)
Micru said about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Associated_namespaces:
The intended outcome would be:
- find out if there is any objection against the "Namespace registry and
association handlers" that Mark proposed 2) discuss possible problems with this approach 3) see if there would be any hands available to work on it; it is a delicate topic that might need someone with a deep understanding of
MediaWiki
Micru also noted that we've had a previous suggestion for a namespace manager https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Namespace_manager .
AFIK, it never materialized because back then there was not such a great need as there is now - or at least the current use cases didn't exist
back
then. I hope this RFC moves forward because it affects important upcoming and already deployed projects (Commons migration, templates, Visual editor,
WD,
etc).
