Details
The $wgExtraNamespaces configuration parameter lets you configure additional, custom namespaces.
It can also be used to rename the default namespaces.
See Manual:Using custom namespaces for further details.
 Caution: | When adding new namespaces, run namespaceDupes.php as appropriate. Otherwise, you may make some pages inaccessible. More information may be found at Manual:Using custom namespaces#Dealing with existing pages. |
Developer information:
In case an extension should work with the newly created custom namespace, make sure that you define and name them prior to invoking the respective extension.
Extensions should not use this configuration parameter. Instead they should use the CanonicalNamespaces hook or load the namespace through extension.json (MW 1.26+, Gerrit change 234146).
