Re: Extra Namespaces | Conflict Management

I'm assuming this concerns the wiki on http://tunearch.org. This is a
solution I came up with after a little bit of testing, there may be easier
or more elegant ones.

1) Create a new, temporary namespace within the recommended custom range,
see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces#Creating_a_custom_namespace
.

> define("NS_TMP", 3000);
> $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_TMP] = "Tmp";


2) Move pages in the biography namespace to the temporary one with the
moveBatch maintenance script. First make a list of the pages to move by
copying from
https://tunearch.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=202 and
adding the syntax for moving:

> Biography:A.A. Gray|Tmp:A.A. Gray
> Biography:A.S. Bowman|Tmp:A.S. Bowman
> Biography:Abraham MacIntosh|Tmp:Abraham MacIntosh
>
...
>
Save to a file, e.g. move.txt and then run the script:

> maintenance/run moveBatch move.txt
>
Check the parameters if you want something extra, like no redirects.
3) Change the defintion of the biography namespace to use the new number:

> define("NS_BIOGRAPHY", 3000);
>
and remove the temporary namespace.
4) Repeat with Biography_talk and any other namspaces you want to move.

That should do it. I did a bit of (small scale) tesing on a local wiki, so
I'm fairly confident this will work, but as always be careful and start by
testing on just a few pages so nothing goes wrong.
