[edit] Request for Guild: and Guild_talk: namespaces

Type 
MediaWiki configuration
Additional software requirements 
None
Additional server-side maintenance requirements 
The following lines need to be added to LocalSettings.php: 
$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Guild";
$wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "Guild_talk";
$wgContentNamespaces[]  = 100;
See Manual:Using custom namespaces on the MediaWiki wiki for more information.
Reason for request 
The current proposed guild pages policy mandates that all guild articles be placed in this namespace.
What else uses it 
No other site has this exact namespace, but custom namespaces are a dime a dozen. GuildWiki has the Build: space, for example. Wikipedia has the Portal: space.
Possible pitfalls
  1. Removing a namespace can be messy. Once the database has articles in a given namespace, if the namespace is suddenly removed then the articles will become inaccessible until their namespace indexes are manually updated in the database.
